Abstract

See full text

Methods of semiconductor processing may include forming plasma effluents. The plasma effluents may then contact a carbon-containing hardmask and an oxide cap. The plasma effluents can etch one or more features in the oxide cap through one or more apertures of the carbon-containing hardmask. Etching can create a tapered profile for one or more features in the oxide cap. The one or more features can be characterized by a critical dimension at the bottom of the one or more features. The critical dimension can be less than or about 80% of a width of the one or more apertures.
