Abstract

See full text

A method of fabricating a structure having a tapered profile using a low temperature plasma etch (LTPE) process. In one embodiment, the LTPE process uses a gas comprising carbon tetrafluoride (CF.sub.4), trifluoromethane (CHF.sub.3), and nitrogen (N.sub.2) to fabricate the structure from a material layer of at least one of tantalum (Ta), tantalum nitride (TaN), and the like.
