A method for etching a dielectric layer below a photoresist mask is provided. A wafer with the dielectric layer disposed below a photoresist mask is provided in an etch chamber. An etch gas comprising CF<SUB>4 </SUB>and H<SUB>2 </SUB>is provided into the etch chamber wherein the CF<SUB>4 </SUB>has a flow rate and the H<SUB>2 </SUB>has a flow rate, wherein the flow rate of H<SUB>2 </SUB>is greater than the flow rate of CF<SUB>4</SUB>. A plasma is formed from the etch gas. Features are etched into the dielectric layer through the etch mask using the plasma formed from the etch gas.
