Abstract:
A method for manufacturing semiconductor-integrated electronic circuits (CI) comprising the steps of: depositing an auxiliary layer (30) on a substrate (20); depositing a layer (40) of screening material on the auxiliary layer (30); selectively removing the layer (40) of screening material to provide a first opening (41) in the layer (40) of screening material and expose an area of the auxiliary layer (30); and removing this area of the auxiliary layer (30) to form a second opening (31) in the auxiliary layer (30), whose cross-section narrows toward the substrate (20) to expose an area of the substrate (20) being smaller than the area exposed by the first opening (41).
Abstract:
A process for forming trenches with an oblique profile and rounded top corners, including the steps of: in a semiconductor wafer (20), through a first polymerizing etch, forming depressions (28) delimited by rounded top corners (29); and through a second polymerizing etch, opening trenches (31) at the depressions (29). The second polymerizing etch is made in variable plasma conditions, so that the trenches (31) have oblique walls (37) with a constant slope (α).
