摘要: A chemical downstream etching (CDE) that is selective to silicon nitrides (SiN) over silicon oxides (SiO) uses at least one of a CH 3 F/CF 4 /O 2 recipe and F /CF recipe. Inflow rates are mapped for the respective components the input recipe find settings provide both high nitride etch and high selectivity towards SiN material. pins-up scheme is used for simultaneously stripping away backside with topside nitride.
