    Abstract: A method for etching a polysilicon gate structure in a plasma etch chamber is provided. The method initiates with defining a pattern protecting a polysilicon film to be etched. Then, a plasma is generated. Next, substantially all of the polysilicon film that is unprotected is etched. Then, a silicon containing gas is introduced and a remainder of the polysilicon film is etched while introducing a silicon containing gas. An etch chamber configured to introduce a silicon containing gas during an etch process is also provided.

    Abstract: The amount of RF power supplied to a plasma in a vacuum plasma processing chamber is gradually changed on a preprogrammed basis in response to signals stored in a computer memory. The computer memory stores signals so that other processing chamber parameters (pressure, gas species and gas flow rates) remain constant while the gradual change occurs. The stored signals enable rounded corners, instead of sharp edges, to be etched, e.g., at an intersection of a trench wall and base.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for consecutively processing a series of semiconductor substrates with minimal plasma etch rate variation following cleaning with fluorine-containing gas and/or seasoning of the plasma etch chamber. The method includes steps of (a) placing a semiconductor substrate on a substrate support in a plasma etching chamber, (b) maintaining a vacuum in the chamber, (c) etching an exposed surface of the substrate by supplying an etching gas to the chamber and energizing the etching gas to form a plasma in the chamber, (d) removing the substrate from the chamber; and (e) consecutively etching additional substrates in the chamber by repeating steps (a-d), the etching step being carried out by minimizing a recombination rate of H and Br on a silicon carbide edge ring surrounding the substrate at a rate sufficient to offset a rate at which Br is consumed across the substrate. The method can be carried out using pure HBr or combination of HBr with other gases.
