Description

A via through an insulating SIO2 (oxide) layer to an underlying material allows a metal contact to be made with that material. If the via is step covered with aluminum, the thickness of the aluminum should be uniform. For this reason, a via is etched so that it has sloped sidewalls of the approximately 450. Usually, the sidewall angle is controlled by shaping the photoresist mask. In this paper, the authors describe a technique in which the sidewall angle of the via is controlled by the components of the chemistry
