    Abstract: A method of etching silicon nitride on patterned heterogeneous structures is described and includes a gas phase etch using anhydrous vapor-phase HF. The HF may be combined with one or more of several precursors in the substrate processing region and near the substrate to increase the silicon nitride etch rate and/or the silicon nitride selectivity. The silicon nitride etch selectivity is increased most notably when compared with silicon of various forms. No precursors are excited in any plasma either outside or inside the substrate processing region according to embodiments. The HF may be flowed through one set of channels in a dual-channel showerhead while the other precursor is flowed through a second set of channels in the dual-channel showerhead.

    Abstract translation: 描述了在图案化异质结构上蚀刻氮化硅的方法,并且包括使用无水气相HF的气相蚀刻。 HF可以与衬底处理区域和衬底附近的几种前体中的一种或多种组合以增加氮化硅蚀刻速率和/或氮化硅选择性。 当与各种形式的硅相比时,氮化硅蚀刻选择性最显着地增加。 根据实施例,在衬底处理区域的外部或内部,在任何等离子体中都不会激发前体。 HF可以在双通道喷头中流过一组通道,而另一个前体流经双通道喷头中的第二组通道。
