Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to methods for selectively removing metal material from the top surface and sidewalls of a feature. The metal material which is covered by a flowable polymer material remains unaffected. In some embodiments, the metal material is formed by physical vapor deposition resulting in a relatively thin sidewall thickness. Any metal material remaining on the sidewall after removal of the metal material from the top surface may be etched by an additional etch process. The resulting metal layer at the bottom of the feature facilitates selective metal gapfill of the feature.

The user input may identify content associated with the chat channel (e.g., one or more messages displayed in the chat user interface) for use in creating the new issue in the issue-tracking platform.

Abstract: Described herein is a method for selectively cleaning and/or etching a sample. The method includes selectively forming a film in a trench of a substrate such that the trench may be selectively etched. A polymer film is deposited on the bottom surface of the trench without being deposited on the side wall. A second film is selectively formed in the trench without forming the second film on the polymer film. The polymer is then removed from the bottom surface of the trench and then etching is performed on the bottom surface of the trench using an etch chemistry, wherein the second film protects the side wall from being etched.
