    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods for forming features in a film stack. The film stack may be utilized to form stair-like structures with accurate profiles control in manufacturing three dimensional (3D) stacking of semiconductor chips. In one example, a method includes exposing a substrate having a multi-material layer formed thereon to radicals of a remote plasma to form one or more features through the multi-material layer, the one or more features exposing a portion of a top surface of the substrate, and the multi-material layer comprising alternating layers of a first layer and a second layer, wherein the remote plasma is formed from an etching gas mixture comprising a fluorine-containing chemistry, and wherein the process chamber is maintained at a pressure of about 2 Torr to about 20 Torr and a temperature of about −100° C. to about 100° C.

    Abstract: Examples herein relate to three-dimensional (3D) dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and corresponding methods. In an example, a stacked semiconductor structure is provided, where the stacked semiconductor structure includes a plurality of unit stacks formed on a substrate. Each unit stack has a semiconductor layer, a first dielectric layer, a first gate electrode, and a second dielectric layer of a capacitor portion. A lateral recess of the capacitor portion is open to a first opening through the unit stack. The method includes conformally depositing, in the lateral recess, a doped silicon layer on a lateral end of the semiconductor layer, performing a thermal annealing process after forming the doped silicon layer on the second lateral end. The method further includes forming a capacitor where the lateral recess was disposed, the capacitor contacting the doped silicon layer on the second lateral end of the semiconductor layer.
