    Abstract: A silicon layer is etched through a patterned mask formed thereon using an etch chamber. A fluorine (F) containing etch gas and a silicon (Si) containing chemical vapor deposition gas are provided in the etch chamber. The fluorine (F) containing etch gas is used to etch features into the silicon layer, and the silicon (Si) containing chemical vapor deposition gas is used to form a silicon-containing deposition layer on sidewalls of the features. A plasma is generated from the etch gas and the chemical vapor deposition gas, and a bias voltage is provided. Features are etched into the silicon layer using the plasma, and a silicon-containing passivation layer is deposited on the sidewalls of the features which are being etched. Silicon in the passivation layer primarily comes from the chemical vapor deposition gas. The etch gas and the chemical vapor deposition gas are then stopped.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus remove photoresist from a wafer. A process gas containing sulfur (S), oxygen (O), and hydrogen (H) is provided, and a plasma is generated from the process gas in a first chamber. A radical-rich ion-poor reaction medium is flown from the first chamber to a second chamber where the wafer is placed. The patterned photoresist layer on the wafer is removed using the reaction medium, and then the reaction medium flowing into the second chamber is stopped. Water vapor may be introduced in a solvation zone provided in a passage of the reaction medium flowing down from the plasma such that the water vapor solvates the reaction medium to form solvated clusters of species before the reaction medium reaches the wafer. The photoresist is removed using the solvated reaction medium.

    Abstract: A gas chamber (400) contains upper (402) and lower (404) chamber bodies forming a cavity (416), a heating chuck (430) for a wafer (420), a remote gas source (440) (440), and an exhaust unit (450). Gas is injected into the cavity (416) through channels (412) in an injector (410). Each channel has sections that are bent with respect to each other at a sufficient angle to substantially eliminate entering light rays entering the channel from exiting the channel without reflection. The channels (412) have funnel-shaped nozzles at end points proximate to the chuck (430). The injector (410) also has thermal expansion relief slots (716) and small gaps between the injector (410) and mating surfaces of the chamber and gas source (440). The temperature of the injector (410) is controlled by a cooling liquid in cooling channels (412) and electrical heaters in receptacles of the injector (410). The upper (402) chamber body is funnel-shaped and curves downward at an end of the upper (402) chamber body proximate to the chuck (430).
