Patent number: 10163650Abstract: A representative method for selective radical-component etching of exposed nitride-containing material comprises the steps of: disposing a substrate in an etch processing region; producing a plasma in a plasma region; flowing a radical component of the plasma into the etch processing region while substantially excluding charged ions of the plasma from entering the etch processing region; flowing an unexcited gas into the etch processing region; and etching an exposed nitride-containing material with reaction products of the radical component of the plasma and the unexcited gas. Etch selectivity for nitride-containing material may be more than about 10 times that of oxide-containing material. In a representative aspect, etching proceeds without producing, or otherwise substantially reducing, residue on the surface of the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2016Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Yi-Wei Chiu, Meng-Chuan Wu, Tzu-Chan Weng
