Abstract

A method of fabricating a node contact opening includes formation of a dielectric layer on a substrate. An opening is formed with C.sub.4 F.sub.8 /Ar/CH.sub.2 F.sub.2 as an etchant. A portion of the dielectric layer under the opening is etched with CHF.sub.3 /CO as an etchant until the substrate is exposed. A node contact opening is formed.
