A method for creating a hole in a semiconductor wafer includes forming a hard mask over a dielectric layer, the hard mask including a solid portion and a first opening. A patterning layer is provided over the hard mask, the patterning layer including second and third openings. The second opening of the patterning layer aligns with the first opening of the hard mask and the third opening of the patterning layer aligns with the solid portion of the hard mask. The hole is created in the dielectric layer using the second opening of the patterning layer and the first opening of the hard mask.
