Abstract

A technique for semiconductor manufacturing is provided. The technique includes the operations as follows. A semiconductor structure having a first material and a second material is revived. The first material has a first incubation time to a first etching chemistry. The second material has a second incubation time to the first etching chemistry. The first incubation time is shorter than the second incubation time. A first main etch to the semiconductor structure for a first duration by the first etching chemistry is performed. The first duration is greater than the first incubation time and shorter than the second incubation time.
