ABSTRACT:
A method of depositing a material to a semiconductor device having a first mesa structure, a second mesa structure and a valley. Material is deposited from a first angular direction sufficient to substantially mask the valley with a first of the mesa structures and from a second angular direction sufficient to substantially mask the valley with the second mesa structure to form a first lip and a second lip on the respective first and second mesa structures overlying the valley and defining a space therebetween less than the width of the valley. Material is then deposited to the device from a third direction in substantial opposition to the device, the space operating to guide material deposition to the valley to provide discrete material deposition in the valley to form a discrete feature in the valley.
