Abstract:
1. A method of forming an intermediate semiconductor device structure, comprising: providing a semiconductor substrate; forming a photopatternable layer over the semiconductor substrate, wherein the photopatternable layer comprises an organosilicon photoresist material; forming a cap layer over the photopatternable layer that comprises the organosilicon photoresist material; forming a photoresist layer over the cap layer; removing at least a portion of the photoresist layer and the cap layer to expose at least a portion of the photopatternable layer, wherein the photopatternable layer comprises the organosilicon photoresist material; and converting the at least a portion of the photopatternable layer to a silicon dioxide-based material after removing at least a portion of the photoresist layer and the cap layer.
