Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method of fabricating a semiconductor device including forming a patterned hardmask layer over a substrate comprising a major surface. The method further includes forming a plurality of first trenches and a plurality of second trenches performed at an electrostatic chuck (ESC) temperature between about 90° C. to 120° C. in the substrate. The plurality of first trenches have a first width and extend downward from the substrate major surface to a first height, and the plurality of second trenches have a second width less than first width and extend downward from the substrate major surface to a second height greater than the first height.
