Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for etching semiconductor and dielectric substrates through the use of plasmas based on mixtures of a first gas having the formula CF, and a second gas having the formula CHF, wherein a/b≧⅔, and wherein x/z≧. The mixtures may be used in low or medium density plasmas sustained in a magnetically enhanced reactive ion chamber to provide a process that exhibits excellent corner layer selectivity, photo resist selectivity, under layer selectivity, and profile and bottom CD control. The percentages of the first and second gas may be varied during etching to provide a plasma that etches undoped oxide films or to provide an etch stop on such films.

Abstract:
Embodiments of showerheads having a detachable gas distribution plate are provided herein. In some embodiments, a showerhead for use in a semiconductor processing chamber may include a base having a first side and a second side opposing the first side; a gas distribution plate disposed proximate the second side of the base, wherein the gas distribution plate is formed from a material having an electrical resistivity between about 60 ohm-cm to 90 ohm-cm; a clamp disposed about a peripheral edge of the gas distribution plate to removably couple the gas distribution plate to the base; and a thermal gasket disposed in a gap between the base and gas distribution plate.
