    Abstract: Methods for etching silicon using hydrogen radicals in a hot wire chemical vapor deposition process are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method of processing a substrate having a crystalline silicon layer atop the substrate and a patterned masking layer atop the crystalline silicon layer exposing portions of the crystalline silicon layer; the method may include (a) exposing the substrate to a plasma formed from an inert gas wherein ions from the plasma amorphize a first part of the exposed portions of the crystalline silicon layer; and (b) exposing the substrate to hydrogen radicals generated from a process gas comprising a hydrogen-containing gas in a hot wire chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD) process chamber to etch the amorphized first part of the exposed portion of the crystalline silicon layer.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to protective coatings on substrates and methods for depositing the protective coatings. In one or more embodiments, a method of forming a protective coating on a substrate includes depositing a chromium oxide layer containing amorphous chromium oxide on a surface of the substrate during a first vapor deposition process and heating the substrate containing the chromium oxide layer comprising the amorphous chromium oxide to convert at least a portion of the amorphous chromium oxide to crystalline chromium oxide during a first annealing process. The method also includes depositing an aluminum oxide layer containing amorphous aluminum oxide on the chromium oxide layer during a second vapor deposition process and heating the substrate containing the aluminum oxide layer disposed on the chromium oxide layer to convert at least a portion of the amorphous aluminum oxide to crystalline aluminum oxide during a second annealing process.
