Abstract
Embodiments presented herein relate to a pulse control system for a substrate processing system. The pulse control system includes a power source, a system controller, and a pulse shape controller. The pulse shape controller is coupled to the power source and in communication with the system controller. The pulse shape controller includes a first switch assembly and a second switch assembly. The first switch assembly includes a first switch having a first end and a second end. The first switch is configurable between an open state and a closed state. The second switch assembly includes a second switch having a first end and a second end. The first switch is in the closed state and the second switch is in the open state. The first switch in the closed state is configured to allow a pulse supplied by the power source to transfer through the pulse shape controller.
