Methods for etching high-k material at high temperatures are provided. In one embodiment, a method of etching a high-k material on a substrate may include providing a substrate having a high-k material layer disposed thereon into an etch chamber, forming a plasma from an etching gas mixture including at least a halogen containing gas into the etch chamber, maintaining a temperature of an interior surface of the etch chamber in excess of about 100 degree Celsius while etching the high-k material layer in the presence of the plasma, and maintaining a substrate temperature between about 100 degrees Celsius and about 250 degrees Celsius while etching the high-k material layer in the presence of the plasma. |
