    Abstract: A method for etching a dielectric layer covering at least one top and at least one flank of a semi-conductive material-based structure is provided, including a plurality of sequences, each including successive steps of: a first etching of the layer by plasma using a chemistry including at least a first fluorine-based compound and a second compound chosen from SiwCl(2w+2) and SiwF(2w+2), w, x, y, and z being whole numbers, and oxygen, the first etching: interrupting before complete consumption of the dielectric layer thickness on the flank and after complete consumption of the thickness on the top, and forming a first protective layer on the top and a second protective layer on the flank; and a second etching fully removing the second layer while conserving a portion of the first layer thickness, each sequence being repeated until complete removal of the dielectric layer on the flank.

    Abstract: A substrate is successively provided with a support (7), an electrically insulating layer (8), and a semi-conductor material layer (2). A first protective mask (1) completely covers a second area (B) of the semi-conductor material layer and leaves a first area (A) of the semi-conductor material layer uncovered. A second etching mask (3) partially covers the first area (A) and at least partially covers the second area (B), so as to define and separate a first area and a second area. Lateral spacers are formed on the lateral surfaces of the second etching mask (3) so as to form a third etching mask. The semi-conductor material layer (2) is etched by means of the third etching mask so as to form a pattern made from semi-conductor material in the first area (A), the first etching mask (3) protecting the second area (B).
