Methods for controlled isotropic etching of layers of silicon oxide and germanium oxide with atomic scale fidelity are provided. The methods make use of NO activation of an oxide surface. Once activated, a fluorine-containing gas or vapor etches the activated surface. Etching is self-limiting as once the activated surface is removed, etching stops since the fluorine species does not spontaneously react with the un-activated oxide surface. These methods may be used in interconnect pre-clean applications, gate dielectric processing, manufacturing of memory devices, or any other applications where accurate removal of one or multiple atomic layers of material is desired.

Etching interleaved structures of semiconductor material forming fins of finFETs and local isolation material interposed between the fins is performed alternately and cyclically by alternating etchants cyclically such as by alternating gases during reactive ion etching. Etchants are preferably alternated when one of the semiconductor material and the local isolation material protrudes above the other by a predetermined distance. Since protruding surfaces are etched more rapidly than recessed surfaces, the overall etching process is accelerated and completed in less time such that erosion of other materials to which the etchants are less than optimally selective is reduced and allow improved etching of trenches for improved isolation structures to be formed.
