Zusammenfassung: | We have discovered a method of reducing the effect of material sputtered/etched during the preheating of a substrate. One embodiment of the method pertains to preheating a substrate which includes a metal-containing layer which is to be pattern etched subsequent to preheating. The method includes exposing the substrate to a preheating plasma which produces a deposit or residue during preheating which is more easily etched than said metal-containing layer during the subsequent plasma etching of said metal-containing layer. |
