ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor chip formed on a substrate is provided. An oxygen-doped silicon carbide etch stop layer is formed over the substrate. An organosilicate glass layer is formed over the oxygen-doped silicon carbide etch stop layer. A feature is selectively etched in the organosilicate glass layer using an etch with an organosilicate glass to oxygen-doped silicon carbide selectivity greater than 5:1.
