A method for controlling ion density and sputtering rate in a sputtering system is disclosed. In one embodiment, a first pulse-width power signal is applied to the cathode to thereby generate a higher concentration of ions. The pulse-width of the first pulse-width power signal is then decreased to thereby increase the sputtering rate and decrease the ion density around the cathode. Next, the process is repeated to create a modulated signal.
