Various embodiments herein relate to apparatuses and methods for distortion of pulses for wafer biasing. In some embodiments, a method is provided, the method comprising: causing a distorted pulse to be applied to an electrode of a pedestal such that the distorted pulse at least partially compensates for attenuation between the pedestal and the substrate, and such that a waveform resulting from the distorted pulse, when imparted to the substrate, is substantially square.
