Abstract

A method for creating attached features while controlling the depth profile between the features is presented. First the features are formed with a separating barrier between the features. The separating barrier is then etched in a second step with an orientation dependent etchant to attach the two feature. This method can be used to create attached features of relative similar sizes or attached features of disparate sizes.
