A method of forming a semiconductor device. A substrate having first and second materials is provided, wherein the second material is occluded by the first material. The substrate is etched using a first non-plasma etch process that etches the first material at a higher rate relative to a rate of etching the second material. The first non-plasma etch process exposes the second material that is overlying at least a portion of the first material. The second material is then etched using a plasma containing a reactive gas, which exposes the at least a portion of the first material. The first material including the at least a portion of the first material that was exposed by etching the second material are etched using a second non-plasma etch process. |
