Abstract

See full text

Semiconductor processing systems and methods for increased etch selectivity and rate are provided. Methods include etching a target material of a semiconductor substrate by flowing one or more plasma precursors through a microwave applicator into a remote plasma region of a semiconductor processing chamber. Generating a remote plasma within the remote plasma region at a microwave frequency, where the generated remote plasma comprises a density of greater than 1×1010 per cm3, an ion energy of less than or about 50 eV, or a combination thereof. Flowing the plasma effluents into a processing region of the semiconductor processing chamber. The microwave applicator includes a resonator body and a plate, where the resonator body is formed from or coated with a first dielectric material and the plate is formed from or coated with a second dielectric material.
