Abstract: Embodiments of improved processes and methods that provide selective etching of silicon nitride are disclosed herein. More specifically, a cyclic, two-step dry etch process is provided to selectively etch silicon nitride layers formed on a substrate, while protecting oxide layers formed on the same substrate. The cyclic, two-step dry etch process sequentially exposes the substrate to: (1) a hydrogen plasma to modify exposed surfaces of the silicon nitride layer and the oxide layer to form a modified silicon nitride surface layer and a modified oxide surface layer, and (2) a halogen plasma to selectively etch silicon nitride by removing the modified silicon nitride surface layer without removing the modified oxide surface layer. The oxide layer is protected from etching during the removal step (i.e., step 2) by creating a crystallized water layer on the oxide layer during the surface modification step (i.e., step 1).
