ABSTRACT:
A method for patterning high aspect ratio vias is provided. More specifically a dry etching method is provided for patterning deep vias or vias with high aspects ratios thereby eliminating the hard mask undercut. A method is provided to create (pattern) deep vias in a substrate for use in three dimensional stacked semiconductor devices and/or structures. More specifically, a method is provided for patterning deep vias with an aspect ratio up to 10 into a Si substrate with smooth via sidewalls and sufficient slope to enable metallization.
