ABSTRACT:
An etching process includes providing a dielectric first film on a substrate and a sacrificial second film on the dielectric first film. A conductive structure such as a container capacitor is formed in a recess in the first and second films. The conductive structure is exposed as to its external surface by an etch process that resists destructive collapse of the conductive structure.
