Abstract:
A method of making multi-level contacts includes providing an in-process multilevel device having a device region and a contact region including a stack of a plurality of alternating sacrificial layers and insulator layers located over a major surface of a substrate. A contact mask with at least one contact mask opening and at least one first terrace mask opening is provided over the stack, where the at least one first terrace mask opening is larger than the at least one contact mask opening. At least one first contact opening and at least one first terrace opening are simultaneously formed extending substantially perpendicular to the major surface of the substrate through the stack to a first sacrificial layer by etching a portion of the stack through the at least one contact mask opening and the at least one first terrace mask opening. A first electrically conductive via contact is deposited in the at least one first contact opening.
