Abstract
A method for forming a structure with a hole on a substrate is disclosed. The method may comprise: depositing a first structure on the substrate; etching a first part of the hole in the first structure; depositing a plug fill in the first part of the hole; depositing a second structure on top of the first structure; etching a second part of the hole substantially aligned with the first part of the hole in the second structure; and, etching the plug fill of the first part of the hole and thereby opening up the hole by dry etching. In this way 3-D NAND device may be provided.
