ABSTRACT:
A method for forming a microelectronic device includes the steps of forming a spin-on-glass layer on a microelectronic substrate, and forming a capping layer on the spin-on-glass layer opposite the substrate. A masking layer is formed on the capping layer opposite the substrate wherein the masking layer exposes portions of the capping layer and the spin-on-glass layer. The exposed portions of said capping layer and the spin-on-glass layer are etched using the masking layer as an etch mask to thereby form a contact hole through the capping layer and the spin-on-glass layer wherein protruding edge portions of the capping layer extend beyond the spin-on-glass layer adjacent the contact hole. The mask layer is removed, and the protruding edge portions of the capping layer are removed from adjacent the contact hole.
