Abstract:
A method for forming a device structure is disclosed. The method of forming the device structure includes forming a variable-depth structure in a device material layer using cyclic-etch process techniques. A plurality of device structures is formed in the variable-depth structure to define vertical or slanted device structures therein. The variable-depth structure and the vertical or slanted device structures are formed using an etch process.
