ABSTRACT:
A method of forming a device including a conductor and a contact over a semiconductor substrate starts by depositing first dielectric and first hard mask layers on the substrate. Form a conductor slot through the hard mask and down into or through the first dielectric layer. Form a recessed conductor in the slot. Widen the slot in the hard mask to form a wide slot. Form a cap in the wide slot covering the conductor and overhanging exposed portions of the first dielectric layer. Deposit a second dielectric layer and a hard mask. Etch an initial contact hole through the second hard mask down to the top surface of the second dielectric layer. Etch a deep contact hole through the second dielectric layer, the first hard; mask and the first dielectric layer down to the substrate with an etchant selective to the capping layer. Fill the deep contact hole and the contact hole with contact metallization.
