Abstract:
In some embodiments, a method of forming an opening in a material comprises forming RIM over target material. Radiation is impinged onto the RIM through a masking tool over a continuous area of the RIM under which a target-material opening will be formed. The masking tool during the impinging allows more radiation there-through onto a mid-portion of the continuous area of the RIM in a vertical cross-section than onto laterally-opposing portions of the continuous area of the RIM that are laterally-outward of the mid-portion of the RIM in the vertical cross-section. After the impinging, the RIM is developed to form a RIM opening that has at least one pair of laterally-opposing ledges laterally-outward of the mid-portion of the RIM in the vertical cross-section elevationally between a top and a bottom of the RIM opening. The developed RIM is used as masking material while etching the target material through the RIM opening to form the target-material opening to have at least one pair of laterally-opposing ledges laterally-outward of a mid-portion in the target-material opening in the vertical cross-section elevationally between a top and a bottom of the target-material opening. Other aspects and constructions independent of manufacture are disclosed.
