摘要:
A method for performing atomic layer etching (ALE) on a substrate is provided, including the following operations: performing a surface modification operation on a substrate surface, the surface modification operation configured to convert at least one monolayer of the substrate surface to a modified layer, wherein a bias voltage is applied during the surface modification operation, the bias voltage configured to control a depth of the substrate surface that is converted by the surface modification operation; performing a removal operation on the substrate surface, the removal operation configured to remove at least a portion of the modified layer from the substrate surface, wherein removing the portion of the modified layer is effected via a ligand exchange reaction that is configured to volatilize the portion of the modified layer. A plasma treatment can be performed to remove residues from the substrate surface following the removal operation.
