Abstract: Provided are methods of manufacturing memory devices. The methods include exposing a film stack to an etching gas to remove alternating sacrificial layers of silicon nitride in the film stack. The memory devices have alternating layers of silicon oxide and silicon nitride and an opening formed therein. The etching gas comprises derivatives of phosphoric acid, phosphonic acid, and phosphonic acid. The silicon nitride layers are selectively etched relative to the silicon oxide layers with improved isotropicity and without compromising the integrity of the film stack.

The processes include flowing a precursor comprising one or more of an interhalogen, a halogen-containing species, a pseudohalogen species, a mixture of one or more of the interhalogen, the halogen-containing species, or the pseudohalogen species and an amine or a phosphine, or a mixture of one or more of the interhalogen, the halogen-containing species, or the pseudohalogen species with a sulfur-containing species, into a semiconductor processing chamber containing a substrate, and forming an activated species of the precursor to etch a substrate. The substrate has a plurality of alternating layers of silicon oxide and silicon nitride thereon and a trench formed through the plurality of alternating layers. The silicon nitride layers are selectively etched relative to the silicon oxide layers at an etch selectivity of greater than or equal to 500:1.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to selective etching processes. The processes include an etching chemistry (a plasma of a fluorine-containing precursor and a first gas mixture), and a passivating chemistry (a plasma of a sulfur-containing precursor and a second gas mixture).

The silicon nitride layers are selectively etched relative to the silicon oxide layers at an etch selectivity of greater than or equal to 500:1.

Abstract: The light-emitting diode package includes a plurality of bumps being a couple corresponding to each other. Each of the bumps has a first part and a second part placed under the first part, and a gap is formed between the bumps in a period-repeating wriggle shape or an irregular wriggle shape. Accordingly, the distance between the bumps of the light-emitting diode package is small, which results in a less stress being concentrated at the space between the bumps, as a result, a crack is difficultly caused by the stress to the light-emitting diode package, in other words, the structural strength between the bumps and the covering part is enhanced. Still, while being manufactured, the yield rate of the light-emitting diode package is also improved since there is almost no crack to reduce the yield rate.
