Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods for conducting a hardmask (e.g., carbon containing hardmask) removal process on a workpiece are provided. In one example implementation, a process can include admitting a process gas into a plasma chamber, generating a plasma in the plasma chamber from the process gas using an inductively coupled plasma source, and exposing the carbon containing hardmask to the plasma to remove at least a portion of the carbon containing hardmask. The process gas can include a sulfur containing gas. The process gas does not include a halogen containing gas. The inductively coupled plasma source can be separated from the plasma chamber by a grounded electrostatic shield to reduce capacitive coupling between the inductively coupled plasma source and the plasma.

Abstract: Plasma processing apparatus and associated methods are provided. In one example implementation, the plasma processing apparatus can include a gas supply in a processing chamber of a plasma processing apparatus, such as an inductively coupled plasma processing apparatus. The gas supply can include one or more injectors. Each of the one or more injectors can be angled relative to a direction parallel to a radius of the workpiece to produce a rotational gas flow relative to a direction perpendicular to a center of the workpiece. Such gas supply can improve process uniformity, workpiece edge critical dimension tuning, gas ionization efficiency, and/or symmetric flow inside the processing chamber to reduce particle deposition on a workpiece and can also reduce heat localization from a stagnate flow.
