ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed of forming a semiconductor device including performing a dry plasma etch at one major surface of a monocrystalline silicon substrate to form a sloped lateral wall lying in a selected crystallographic plane intersecting one major surface. The oriented sloped lateral wall is formed during plasma etching by introducing into contact with said major surface at unprotected locations a chlorofluorocarbon gas and employing during etching a pressure of at least 6.67 Pa and a radio frequency power density of less than 3 watts per square centimeter.
