    Abstract: A method of forming capacitors includes forming support material over a substrate. A first capacitor electrode is formed within individual openings in the support material. A first etching is conducted only partially into the support material using a liquid etching fluid to expose an elevationally outer portion of sidewalls of individual of the first capacitor electrodes. A second etching is conducted into the support material using a dry etching fluid to expose an elevationally inner portion of the sidewalls of the individual first capacitor electrodes. A capacitor dielectric is formed over the outer and inner portions of the sidewalls of the first capacitor electrodes. A second capacitor electrode is formed over the capacitor dielectric.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include a method of forming a capacitor. An opening is formed through a silicon-containing mass to a base, and sidewalls of the opening are lined with protective material. A first capacitor electrode is formed within the opening and has sidewalls along the protective material. At least some of the silicon-containing mass is removed with an etch. The protective material protects the first capacitor electrode from being removed by the etch. A second capacitor electrode is formed along the sidewalls of the first capacitor electrode, and is spaced from the first capacitor electrode by capacitor dielectric. Some embodiments include multi-material structures having one or more of aluminum nitride, molybdenum nitride, niobium nitride, niobium oxide, silicon dioxide, tantalum nitride and tantalum oxide. Some embodiments include semiconductor constructions.

    Abstract: Various embodiments comprise methods of selectively etching oxides over nitrides in a vapor-etch cyclic process. In one embodiment, the method includes, in a first portion of the vapor-etch cyclic process, exposing a substrate having oxide features and nitride features formed thereon to selected etchants in a vapor-phase chamber; transferring the substrate to a post-etch heat treatment chamber; and heating the substrate to remove etchant reaction products from the substrate. In a second portion of the vapor-etch cyclic process, the method continues with transferring the substrate from the post-etch heat treatment chamber to the vapor-phase chamber; exposing the substrate to the selected etchants in the vapor-phase chamber; transferring the substrate to the post-etch heat treatment chamber; and heating the substrate to remove additional etchant reaction products from the substrate. Apparatuses for performing the method and additional methods are also disclosed.
