    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for semiconductor manufacturing are described. A stack of materials may be formed on a semiconductor substrate. The stack of materials may include a first material, a second material, and a third material. A first etching operation may be performed. The first etching operation may remove a first portion of the first material. A second etching operation may be performed. The second etching operation may remove a first portion of the second material. A third etching operation may be performed. The third etching operation may remove a first portion of the third material. A fourth etching operation may be performed. The fourth etching operation may remove a second portion of the second material. A fifth etching operation may be performed. The fifth etching operation may remove a second portion of the first material.
