Abstract: In some implementations, fluorine is oxidized after dry etching an oxide layer above a source/drain contact and before cleaning. Accordingly, less hydrofluoric acid is formed during cleaning, which reduces unexpected wet etching of the source/drain contact. This allows for forming a recess in the source/drain contact with a depth to width ratio in a range from approximately 1.0 to approximately 1.4 and prevents damage to a layer of silicide below the source/drain that can be caused by excessive hydrofluoric acid. Additionally, or alternatively, the recess is formed using multiple wet etch processes, and any residual fluorine is oxidized between the wet etch processes. Accordingly, each wet etching process may be shorter and less corrosive, which allows for greater control over dimensions of the recess. Additionally, less hydrofluoric acid may be formed during cleaning processes between the wet etch processes, which reduces the etching of the source/drain contact between processes.

Abstract: Certain embodiments herein relate to an apparatus used for remote plasma processing. In various embodiments, the apparatus includes a reaction chamber that is conditioned by forming a low recombination material coating on interior chamber surfaces. The low recombination material helps minimize the degree of radical recombination that occurs when the reaction chamber is used to process substrates. During processing on substrates, the low recombination material may become covered by relatively higher recombination material (e.g., as a byproduct of the substrate processing), which results in a decrease in the amount of radicals available to process the substrate over time. The low recombination material coating may be reconditioned through exposure to an oxidizing plasma, which acts to reform the low recombination material coating. The reconditioning process may occur periodically as additional processing occurs on substrates.
