Abstract

OF THE DISCLOSURE METHOD FOR FORMING SELF 唰ALIGNED CONTACTS/ VIAS 研＇1TH HIGH CORNER SELECTIVITY A method of etching self-aligned contact/via features in a low-k dielectric layer disposed below a hardmask, which is disposed below a planarizatio 丑 layer. At least one cycle is provided, where each cycle comprises thinning the planarization layer, forming a deposition layer on the hardmask and planarization layer; and etching the low去 dielectric 10 layer masked by the deposition layer.
