Abstract: The invention offers a structure that includes a substrate with a top surface and a bottom surface, an etched dielectric layer having sidewalls and an upper surface, wherein the etched dielectric layer with a thickness of v, is positioned upon a first portion of the top surface of the substrate but not positioned upon a second portion of the top surface of the substrate having a width equal to x, an atomic layer deposited (ALD) film with a thickness of y, positioned upon the upper surface of the etched dielectric layer, the sidewalls of the etched dielectric layer, and the second portion of the top surface of the substrate, and a trench formed by the atomic layer with a width equal to x−2y.
