摘要: Semiconductor systems and methods may include methods of performing selective etches that include modifying a material on a semiconductor substrate. The substrate may have at least two exposed materials on a surface of the semiconductor substrate. The methods may include forming a low-power plasma within a processing chamber housing the semiconductor substrate. The low-power plasma may be a radio-frequency (“RF”) plasma, which may be at least partially formed by an RF bias power operating between about 10 W and about 100 W in embodiments. The RF bias power may also be pulsed at a frequency below about 5,000 Hz. The methods may also include etching one of the at least two exposed materials on the surface of the semiconductor substrate at a higher etch rate than a second of the at least two exposed materials on the surface of the semiconductor substrate.

摘要: Embodiments presented herein relate to a pulse control system for a substrate processing system. The pulse control system includes a power source, a system controller, and a pulse shape controller. The pulse shape controller is coupled to the power source and in communication with the system controller. The pulse shape controller includes a first switch assembly and a second switch assembly. The first switch assembly includes a first switch having a first end and a second end. The first switch is configurable between an open state and a closed state. The second switch assembly includes a second switch having a first end and a second end. The first switch is in the closed state and the second switch is in the open state. The first switch in the closed state is configured to allow a pulse supplied by the power source to transfer through the pulse shape controller.
