Abstract:
A first liner and a second liner are formed such that a peripheral portion of the second liner overlies a peripheral portion of the first liner. A photoresist layer is applied and patterned such that a sidewall of a patterned photoresist layer overlies an overlapping peripheral portion of the second liner An isotropic dry etch is performed to laterally etch the overlapping peripheral portion of the second liner from below the patterned photoresist layer. The patterned photoresist is subsequently removed, and a structure without an overlap of the first and second liners is provided.
