Patent number: 8801892Abstract: Etching a layer over a substrate is provided. The substrate is placed in a plasma processing chamber. A first gas is provided to an inner zone within the plasma processing chamber. A second gas is provided to the outer zone within the plasma processing chamber, where the outer zone surrounds the inner zone and the first gas is different than the second gas. Plasmas are simultaneously generated from the first gas and second gas. The layer is etched, where the layer is etched by the plasmas from the first gas and second gas.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2008Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Lam Research CorporationInventors: Dean J. Larson, Babak Kadkhodayan, Di Wu, Kenji Takeshita, Bi-Ming Yen, Xingcai Su, William M. Denty, Jr., Peter Loewenhardt
