Abstract: Embodiments of methods for forming features in a silicon containing layer of a substrate disposed on a substrate support are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for forming features in a silicon containing layer of a substrate disposed on a substrate support in a processing volume of a process chamber includes: exposing the substrate to a first plasma formed from a first process gas while providing a bias power to the substrate support, wherein the first process gas comprises one or more of a chlorine-containing gas or a bromine containing gas; and exposing the substrate to a second plasma formed from a second process gas while no bias power is provided to the substrate support, wherein the second process gas comprises one or more of an oxygen-containing gas or nitrogen gas, and wherein a source power provided to form the first plasma and the second plasma is continuously provided.

Abstract: A gas comprising hydrogen is supplied to a plasma source. Plasma comprising hydrogen plasma particles is generated from the gas. A passivation layer is deposited on a first mask layer on a second mask layer over a substrate using the hydrogen plasma particles.

Abstract: Methods for removing residual polymers formed during etching of a boron-doped amorphous carbon layer are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method of etching a feature in a substrate includes: exposing a boron doped amorphous carbon layer disposed on the substrate to a first plasma through a patterned mask layer to etch a feature into the boron doped amorphous carbon layer, wherein the first plasma is formed from a first process gas that reacts with the boron doped amorphous carbon layer to form residual polymers proximate a bottom of the feature; and exposing the residual polymers to a second plasma through the patterned mask layer to etch the residual polymers proximate the bottom of the feature, wherein the second plasma is formed from a second process gas comprising nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), hydrogen (H2), and methane (CH4).

Abstract: Embodiments of methods for etching a substrate include exposing the substrate to a first plasma formed from an inert gas; exposing the substrate to a second plasma formed from an oxygen-containing gas to form an oxide layer on a bottom and sides of a low aspect ratio feature and a high aspect ratio feature, wherein the oxide layer on the bottom of the low aspect ratio feature is thicker than on the bottom of the high aspect ratio feature; etching the oxide layer from the bottom of the low and high aspect ratio features with a third plasma to expose the bottom of the high aspect ratio feature while the bottom of the low aspect ratio feature remains covered; and exposing the substrate to a fourth plasma formed from a halogen-containing gas to etch the bottom of the low aspect ratio feature and the high aspect ratio feature.
