Abstract

A system for achieving an ion energy distribution function (IEDF) is described. The system includes a plurality of switches and a plurality of capacitors. The plurality of capacitors includes a plurality of shunt capacitors. Each of the plurality of shunt capacitors is coupled to a respective one of the plurality of switches to be coupled to a radio frequency (RF) transmission line to achieve the IEDF. The RF transmission line is coupled between a nonsinusoidal bias voltage source and a plasma chamber.
