Zusammenfassung:During SiO2 etching, when the oxide surface etch rate is larger than the bulk etch rate and the photoresist adheres tenaciously to the surface, a near vertical wall or cusp will be formed. This will create potential fracture spots in sputtered or evaporated metal which covers the steps. In the fabrication of self-aligned gate IGFETs, where the gate material acts as a mask against either etching or ion implantation, holes in the step metal will allow regions under the nominal gate to be doped during the source-drain doping.
