Abstract:
Techniques herein include methods for selectively modifying chemical properties of organosilicates including periodic mesoporous organosilicates (PMOs) in situ for use in fabrication of semiconductor devices. With techniques herein, such materials are manipulated in their chemical properties after deposition and can accordingly be used as sacrificial patterning films and/or as patterning enabling materials. Using selective treatments such as annealing, curing, plasma exposure, and silylation, chemical properties such as etch resistance and hydrophobicity can be changed to enable a given patterning operation. A given film can be etch resistant for one patterning operation, and then changed to be etch removable for a subsequent patterning operation.

Claim (Index 20):
The method of  claim 19 , wherein the first material is a periodic mesoporous organosilicate (PMO), and wherein modifying chemical properties of the first material such that the first material is etchable by includes executing a first treatment process selected from the group consisting of thermal annealing, ultraviolet curing, ozone exposure, oxygen plasma exposure, silylating agent deposition, and vapor exposure.
