Abstract

See full text

Processes for forming pedestal holes in a substrate assembly are described. In particular, processes using a high density plasma to etch doped or undoped silicon oxide are described. For example, a fluorocarbon chemistry is employed for selective deposition of a spacer layer to form a vertical to less than vertical spacer within a contact hole. The contact hole is extended using the spacer and a subsequent etch to complete formation of a via. Alternatively, both spacer deposition and contact hole formation may be achieved in a single etch step.
