Abstract:
Methods are provided for integrating atomic layer etch and atomic layer deposition by performing both processes in the same chamber or reactor. Methods involve sequentially alternating between atomic layer etch and atomic layer deposition processes to prevent feature degradation during etch, improve selectivity, and encapsulate sensitive layers of a semiconductor substrate.

Claim (Index 34):
The method of  claim 32 , wherein the exposing the substrate to the alternating pulses of the etching gas and the removal gas and the exposing the substrate to the alternating pulses of the first reactant and the second reactant are performed to etch material on the substrate.
