Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, and systems related to forming a recess in a semiconductor structure are described. An example method includes etching the semiconductor structure using an elevated temperature dilution of acid and water. The method further includes etching the semiconductor structure using a room temperature wet etch of acid and water and a surface modification chemistry.
