Abstract
System and method for direct etching. According to an embodiment, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing an integrated circuit device. The method includes a step for providing a substrate having a contact region, which is provided between a first word line and a second word line. The contact region has an overlying plug structure, which is provided within a thickness of a first dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer includes a portion overlying the plug structure. The first dielectric layer has a planarized surface region. The method also includes a step for forming a first line and a second line and a space provided between the first word line and the second world line. The space is provided within a region overlying the plug structure.
