A method of selectively etching silicon nitride from a substrate comprising a silicon nitride layer and a silicon oxide layer includes flowing a fluorine-containing gas into a plasma generation region of a substrate processing chamber and applying energy to the fluorine-containing gas to generate a plasma in the plasma generation region. The plasma comprises fluorine radicals and fluorine ions. The method also includes filtering the plasma to provide a reactive gas having a higher concentration of fluorine radicals than fluorine ions and flowing the reactive gas into a gas reaction region of the substrate processing chamber. The method also includes exposing the substrate to the reactive gas in the gas reaction region of the substrate processing chamber. The reactive gas etches the silicon nitride layer at a higher etch rate than the reactive gas etches the silicon oxide layer.

The method of claim 1 wherein an electron temperature in the substrate processing region is less than 0.5 eV during the operation of etching the exposed silicon nitride. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein plasma effluents pass through an ion suppressor disposed between the remote plasma region and the substrate processing region. 7. The method of claim 1 wherein the fluorine-containing precursor comprises NF3. 8. The method of claim 1 wherein the fluorine-containing precursor comprises a precursor selected from the group consisting of hydrogen fluoride, atomic fluorine, diatomic fluorine, and carbon tetrafluoride. 9. The method of claim 1 wherein a temperature of the patterned substrate is between about 25° C. and about 90° C. during the operation of etching the exposed silicon nitride. 10.
