  • Patent number: 9105581
    Abstract: In a method of processing a substrate, a first plasma may be generated from a first reaction gas. A second plasma may be generated from a second reaction gas. The first plasma and the second plasma may be individually applied to the substrate. Thus, each of the at least two remote plasma sources may generate at least two plasmas under different process recipes, which may be optimized for processing the substrate. As a result, the substrate processed using the optimal plasmas may have a desired shape.
