    Abstract: A semiconductor processing chamber may include a remote plasma region, and a processing region fluidly coupled with the remote plasma region. The processing region may be configured to house a substrate on a support pedestal. The support pedestal may include a first material at an interior region of the pedestal. The support pedestal may also include an annular member coupled with a distal portion of the pedestal or at an exterior region of the pedestal. The annular member may include a second material different from the first material.

    Abstract: Methods of selectively etching tungsten relative to silicon-containing films (e.g. silicon oxide, silicon carbon nitride and (poly)silicon) as well as tungsten oxide are described. The methods include a remote plasma etch formed from a fluorine-containing precursor and/or hydrogen (H2). Plasma effluents from the remote plasma are flowed into a substrate processing region where the plasma effluents react with the tungsten. The plasma effluents react with exposed surfaces and selectively remove tungsten while very slowly removing other exposed materials. Sequential and simultaneous methods are included to remove thin tungsten oxide which may, for example, result from exposure to the atmosphere.

    Abstract: Exemplary semiconductor processing methods may include providing an oxygen-containing precursor to a processing region of a semiconductor processing chamber. A substrate may be housed within the processing region. A first layer of silicon-and-germanium-containing material, a second layer of silicon-and-germanium-containing material, and a layer of silicon-containing material may be disposed on the substrate. The methods may include contacting the substrate with the oxygen-containing precursor. The contacting may oxidize at least a portion of the second layer of silicon-and-germanium-containing material. The methods may include providing a first etchant precursor to the processing region and contacting the substrate with the first etchant precursor. The contacting may selectively etch the first layer of silicon-and-germanium-containing material. The methods may include providing a second etchant precursor to the processing region. The methods may include contacting the substrate with the second etchant precursor. The contacting may etch a portion of the layer of silicon-containing material.
