  • Publication number: 20240120210
    Abstract: Exemplary methods of etching a silicon-containing material may include flowing a first fluorine-containing precursor into a remote plasma region of a semiconductor processing chamber. The methods may include flowing a sulfur-containing precursor into the remote plasma region of the semiconductor processing chamber. The methods may include forming a plasma within the remote plasma region to generate plasma effluents of the first fluorine-containing precursor and the sulfur-containing precursor. The methods may include flowing the plasma effluents into a processing region of the semiconductor processing chamber. A substrate may be positioned within the processing region. The substrate may include a trench formed through stacked layers including alternating layers of silicon nitride and silicon oxide. The methods may include isotropically etching the layers of silicon nitride while substantially maintaining the silicon oxide.

  • Patent number: 11955331
    Abstract: Embodiments includes methods for forming a silicon nitride film on a substrate in a deposition chamber. In embodiments, the substrate is sequentially exposed to a sequence of processing gases, comprising: a silicon halide precursor that absorbs onto a surface of the substrate to form an absorbed layer of the silicon halide, a first reacting gas that includes N2 and one or both of Ar and He, and a second reacting gas comprising a hydrogen-containing gas and one or more of Ar, He, and N2. In embodiments, the hydrogen-containing gas includes at least one of H2 (molecular hydrogen), NH3 (ammonia), N2H2 (diazene), N2H4 (hydrazine), and HN3 (hydrogen azide). Embodiments may include repeating the sequence until a desired thickness of the silicon nitride film is obtained.

  • Patent number: 6397343
    Abstract: In a computer system having a CPU and a graphics subsystem, a device for dynamic graphics subsystem clock adjustment. A clock pulse generator is used for generating a clock frequency. The clock frequency is coupled to the graphics subsystem and is used by the graphics subsystem to synchronize and pace its internal operations. The clock frequency generated by the generator is variable over a range. A controller is coupled to the clock pulse generator, for adjusting the clock frequency from the clock pulse generator over the range. The controller interfaces with the computer system through an interface coupled to the controller. Through the interface, the controller communicates with the computer system or graphics subsystem and determines a load placed on the graphics subsystem.
