    Abstract: STABILIZED PHOTORESIST STRUCTURE FOR ETCHING PROCESS A method for forming features in an etch layer is provided. A first mask is formed over the etch layer where the first mask defines a plurality of spaces with widths. The first mask is laterally etched where the etched first mask defines a plurality of spaces with widths that are greater than the widths of the spaces of the first mask. A sidewall layer is formed over the etched first mask where the sidewall layer defines a plurality of spaces with widths that are less than the widths of the spaces defined by the etched first mask. Features are etched into the etch layer through the sidewall layer, where the features have widths that are smaller than the widths of the spaces defined by the etched first mask. The mask and sidewall layer are removed.

    Abstract: A method for etching features into an etch layer in a stack disposed below a patterned mask with mask features is provided. Coating providing molecules are provided. The coating providing molecules are pyrolyzed, which only produces a first set of byproducts and a second set of byproducts, wherein the first set of byproducts have a sticking coefficient between 10−6 to 5×10−3 and wherein the second set of byproducts includes all remaining byproducts from the pyrolysis wherein all remaining byproducts from the pyrolysis have sticking coefficients less than 10−6. The stack is exposed to the first set of byproducts, causing the first set of byproducts to deposit a coating. The etch layer is etched.

    Abstract: REDUCTION OF FEATURE CRITICAL DIMENSIONS A feature in a layer (308) is provided. A photoresist layer is formed over the layer (308). The photoresist layer is patterned to form photoresist features (312) with photoresist sidewalls, where the photoresist features (312) have a first critical dimension (316). A conformal layer (320) is deposited over the sidewalls of the photoresist features (312) to reduce the critical dimensions of the photoresist features (312). Features are etched into the layer (308), wherein the layer (308) features have a second critical dimension (324), which is less than the first critical dimension (316). Fig. 3C
