Abstract

See full text

In one embodiment, a method for etching a copper layer disposed on a substrate includes directing reactive ions to the substrate when a mask that defines an exposed area and protected area is disposed on the copper layer, wherein an altered layer is generated in the exposed area comprising a chemically reactive material; and exposing the copper layer to a molecular species that is effective to react with the chemically reactive material so as to remove the altered layer.
