Abstract:
An Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) configured to deposit a metal oxide layer onto an organic photoresist on a substrate using a highly reactive organic metal precursor. By using a highly reactive metal precursor, the rate of growth of the metal oxide layer is very fast, creating a “seal” that effectively protects the organic photoresist from loss and degradation from subsequent exposure to oxygen species during subsequent ALD cycles. The ability to deposit metal oxide layers means metal oxide spacers can be used in multi-patterning, resulting in highly uniform, dense lines, and the elimination of photolithography-etch steps.

Claim (Index 13):
The ALD tool of  claim 1 , wherein the organic photoresist is an Anti Reflective Layer (ARL).
