    摘要: Methods for etching electrodes formed directly on gate dielectrics are provided. In one aspect, an etch process is provided which includes a main etch step, a soft landing step, and an over etch step. In another aspect, a method is described which includes performing a main etch having good etch rate uniformity and good profile uniformity, performing a soft landing step in which a metal/metal barrier interface can be determined, and performing an over etch step to selectively remove the metal barrier without negatively affecting the dielectric. In another aspect, a method is provided which includes a first non-selective etch chemistry for bulk removal of electrode material, a second intermediate selective etch chemistry with end point capability, and then a selective etch chemistry to stop on the gate dielectric.

    摘要: An etch method includes etching a masked substrate to form a recess with a first sidewall in the substrate. A thin surface layer of the substrate on the first sidewall is then converted into a passivation layer. The masked substrate is etched again to deepen the recess in the substrate. A surface layer of the substrate on the second sidewall of the recess is then converted into a passivation layer. In one embodiment, upon removal of the passivation layers from both sidewalls, the first and second sidewalls of the high aspect ratio recess are aligned to within 10 Å of each other to provide a high aspect ratio recess having a vertical profile.
