    Abstract: The current disclosure relates to methods of etching a material. The method comprises method of etching material from a first surface of a material. In the method, the substrate having a first surface of a material is provided into a reaction chamber and an etching step is executed. The etching step comprises etching the first material by executing a plurality of etching cycles. Each etching cycle comprises an etching reactant pulse to expose the substrate to an etching reactant and an anneal pulse to expose the substrate to an anneal. The disclosure further relates to methods of forming a semiconductor device and to a semiconductor device. Further, the disclosure relates to a semiconductor processing system.
