摘要: Systems and methods for etching titanium containing layers on a workpiece are provided. In one example, a method includes placing the workpiece on a workpiece support in a processing chamber. The workpiece includes a first layer and a second layer. The first layer is a titanium containing layer. The method includes admitting a process gas into the processing chamber. The process gas includes an ozone gas and a fluorine containing gas. The method includes exposing the first layer and the second layer on the workpiece to the process gas to at least partially etch the first layer at a greater etch rate relative to the second layer.

摘要: Processes treating a workpiece are provided. In one example implementation, a method can include performing an organic radical treatment process on a workpiece. The workpiece includes a photoresist material and a semiconductor material. The organic radical treatment process can include generating one or more species in a first chamber. The treatment process can include flowing one or more hydrocarbon molecules at a flow rate of about 100 sccm to about 15000 sccm into the one or more species to create a mixture. The mixture can include one or more organic radicals. The treatment process can include exposing the workpiece to the mixture in a second chamber. The mixture etches the photoresist material at an etch rate that is greater than an etch rate of the semiconductor material. Devices and systems for processing workpieces are also provided.

摘要: Apparatus and methods for processing a workpiece using a plasma are provided. In one example implementation, an apparatus can include a processing chamber. The apparatus can include a plasma chamber comprising a dielectric tube defining a sidewall. The apparatus can include an inductively coupled plasma source. The inductively coupled plasma source can include an RF generator configured to energize an induction coil disposed about the dielectric tube. The apparatus can include a separation grid separating the processing chamber from the plasma chamber. The apparatus can include a controller configured to operate the inductively coupled plasma source in a pulsed mode. During the pulsed mode the RF generator is configured to apply a plurality of pulses of RF power to the induction coil. A frequency of pulses can be in a range of about 1 kHz to about 100 kHz.

摘要: Systems and methods for processing a workpiece are provided. In one example, a method includes exposing the workpiece to a first gas mixture when the workpiece is at a first temperature to conduct a doped silicate glass etch process. The first gas mixture can include hydrofluoric acid (HF) vapor. The doped silicate glass etch process at least partially removes the doped silicate glass layer at a first etch rate that is greater than a second etch rate associated with removal of the at least one second layer. The method can include heating the workpiece to a second temperature. The second temperature is greater than the first temperature. The method can include exposing the workpiece to a second gas mixture when the workpiece is at a second temperature to remove a residue from the workpiece.
