A gas distribution system for providing a first gas and a second gas is connected to the plasma chamber, wherein the gas distribution system can substantially replace one gas in the plasma zone with the other gas within a period of less than 1 s. A first frequency tuned RF power source for providing power to the electrode in a first frequency range is electrically connected to the at least one electrode wherein the first frequency tuned RF power source is able to minimize a reflected RF power. A second frequency tuned RF power source for providing power to the plasma chamber in a second frequency range outside of the first frequency range wherein the second frequency tuned RF power source is able to minimize a reflected RF power.
