H01L 21/308
Abstract:
A source-level semiconductor layer and an alternating stack of first material layers and second material layers is formed above a substrate. A hard mask layer is formed over the alternating stack, and is subsequently patterned to provide a pattern of cavities therethrough. Via openings are formed through the alternating stack by performing an anisotropic etch process. A cladding liner is formed on sidewalls of the cavities in the hard mask layer and on a top surface of the hard mask layer. The via openings are vertically extended at least through the source-level semiconductor layer by performing a second anisotropic etch process employing a combination of the cladding liner and the hard mask layer as an etch mask.
