Semiconductor device having an oxide defined aperture

摘要

An improved aperture is provided. The aperture comprises: at least a first layer; the first layer being oxidized in a laterally oriented first region; the first layer being modified within a laterally oriented second region, the second region being oxidized less than the first region; a second layer disposed above the first layer, the second layer being oxidized less than the first layer and providing material to modify the laterally oriented second region and thereby define an aperture. Additionally, a method for producing the aperture is disclosed.
