Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor device includes: forming a fin protruding above a substrate; forming a gate layer over the fin; and patterning the gate layer in a plasma etching tool using a plasma etching process to form a gate over the fin, where patterning the gate layer includes: turning on and off a top radio frequency (RF) source of the plasma etching tool alternately during the plasma etching process; and turning on and off a bottom RF source of the plasma etching tool alternately during the plasma etching process, where there is a timing offset between first time instants when the top RF source is turned on and respective second time instants when the bottom RF source is turned on.
