Abstract

A method of fabricating a sloped termination of a molybdenum layer includes providing the molybdenum layer and applying a photo resist material to the molybdenum layer. The photo resist material is exposed under a defocus condition to generate a resist mask having an edge portion. The molybdenum layer is etched at least at the edge portion of the resist mask to result in a sloped termination of the molybdenum layer.
