Embodiments disclosed herein include methods for removing a metal containing layer from a chamber of a tool. In an embodiment, the method comprises generating a remote plasma in the tool. The method may continue with flowing reactive species from the remote plasma into the chamber, and flowing a hydrocarbon gas into the chamber. In an embodiment, the method may include reacting the reactive species with the hydrocarbon gas within the chamber. In an embodiment, the method may further comprise etching the metal-containing material in the chamber.

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to methods for enlarging the opening width of substrate features by reducing the overhang of deposited films. Some embodiments of the disclosure utilize a high power bias pulse to etch the deposited film near the opening of the substrate feature. Some embodiments of the disclosure etch the deposited film without damaging the underlying substrate.

A method of etching a metal includes performing at least two cycles of an etch process. A cycle of the etch process includes: performing a surface modification on an exposed surface of a metal layer over a substrate, performing a hydrogen treatment on the metal layer, and performing a cleaning treatment on the metal layer. The hydrogen treatment forms a layer of reaction products on the metal layer. The cleaning treatment removes the layer of reaction products.

A method of manufacturing a metal wire, a method of manufacturing a metal wire grid, a wire grid polarizer, and an electronic device are provided. The method of manufacturing a metal wire includes: forming a metal material layer on a base substrate; etching the metal material layer by using a composite gas including an etching gas and a coating reaction gas to form the metal wire and a protective coating layer on a surface of the metal wire.

The dry etching method of the present invention etches a metal film formed on a surface of a workpiece by bringing etching gases each containing a β-diketone into contact with the metal film. The method includes: a first etching step of bringing a first etching gas containing a first β-diketone into contact with the metal film; and a second etching step of bringing a second etching gas containing a second β-diketone into contact with the metal film after the first etching step. The first β-diketone is a compound capable of forming a first complex through a reaction with the metal film. The second β-diketone is a compound capable of forming a second complex having a lower sublimation point than the first complex through a reaction with the metal film.
