    摘要: A method of producing plurality of etched features in an electronic device is disclosed that avoids micro-loading problems thus maintaining more uniform sidewall profiles and more uniform critical dimensions. The method comprises performing a first time-divisional plasma etch process step within a plasma chamber to a first depth of the plurality of etched features, and performing a flash process step to remove any polymers from exposed surfaces of the plurality of etched features without requiring an oxidation step. The flash process step is performed independently of the time-divisional plasma etch step. A second time-divisional plasma etch process step is performed within the plasma chamber to a second depth of the plurality of etched features. The method may be repeated until a desired etch depth is reached.

    摘要: A method of forming devices is provided. A phase change layer is provided. The phase change layer is etched by providing an etch gas comprising a bromine containing compound and forming a plasma from the etch gas. The phase change layer is of a material that may be heated by a current and then when cooled, either forms an amorphous material or a crystalline material, depending on how fast the material is cooled. In addition, the amorphous material has a resistance at least several times greater than the crystalline material.
