Semiconductor structure having interconnects on a projecting region and substrate

摘要

A region is formed in a semiconductor substrate and extends beyond the substrate surface. First and second interconnects each having a predetermined thickness and a surface approximately parallel to the substrate surface are formed on the region. The first and second interconnects define a trench therebetween. A third interconnect is formed on the substrate. The thicknesses of the first and second interconnects are reduced a first amount to improve the aspect ratio of the trench, to improve the cross-sectional profile of the trench, or both. The thickness of the third strip is reduced a second amount. The second amount may be smaller than the first amount.
