Abstract

A method for etching features of different aspect ratios in a conductive layer is provided. The method comprises: depositing over the conductive layer with an aspect ratio dependent deposition; etching features into the conductive layer with an aspect ratio dependent etching of the conductive layer; and repeating the depositing and the etching at least once.
