    Abstract: A method for etching features in a silicon layer is provided. A hard mask layer is formed over the silicon layer. A photoresist layer is formed over the hard mask layer. The hard mask layer is opened. The photoresist layer is stripped by providing a stripping gas; forming a plasma with the stripping gas by providing a high frequency RF power and a low frequency RF power, wherein the low frequency RF power has a power less than 50 watts; and stopping the stripping gas when the photoresist layer is stripped. The opening the hard mask layer and the stripping the photoresist layer are performed in a same chamber.

    Abstract: A plasma processing chamber is provided. The plasma processing chamber includes a bottom electrode configured to support a substrate and a top electrode located over the bottom electrode. The plasma processing chamber further includes a plasma confinement assembly designed to transition between a closed orientation and an open orientation. In the closed orientation, the plasma confinement assembly defines a first volume for plasma during processing, and in the open orientation, the plasma confinement assembly defines a second volume for plasma during processing which is larger than the first volume.
