<p>One embodiment of the present invention is a method used to fabricate devices on a substrate, which method is utilized at a stage of processing wherein a dummy gate that includes gate electrode material and gate dielectric material is exposed, which method includes steps of: (a) flowing one or more gases into a plasma generator disposed outside a processing chamber containing the substrate; and (b) flowing output from the plasma generator into the processing chamber so that the substrate is exposed to species that selectively etch the gate electrode material.</p> |
