  • Publication number: 20230109912
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include a method of etching a 3D structure. In an embodiment, the method comprises providing the 3D structure in a microwave plasma chamber. In an embodiment, the 3D structure comprises a substrate, and alternating layers of silicon oxide and silicon nitride over the substrate. In an embodiment, the method further comprises flowing a first gas into the microwave plasma chamber, where the first gas comprises sulfur and fluorine. In an embodiment, the method comprises flowing a second gas into the microwave plasma chamber, where the second gas comprises an inert gas. In an embodiment, the method further comprises striking a plasma in the microwave plasma chamber, and etching the silicon nitride, where an etching selectivity of silicon nitride to silicon oxide is 50:1 or greater.
