Zusammenfassung:Methods of polysilicon over-etch using hydrogen diluted plasma for three-dimensional gate etch are described. In an example, a method of forming a three-dimensional gate structure includes performing a main plasma etch on a masked polysilicon layer formed over a semiconductor fin. The method also includes, subsequently, performing a plasma over etch on the masked polysilicon layer based on a plasma generated from gaseous composition including hydrogen gas (H2).
