Abstract:
A method for patterning a stack having a patterned organic mask with a plurality of mask features including sidewalls and tops, a hardmask and an etch layer, wherein the patterned organic mask is positioned over the hardmask which is positioned over the etch layer is provided. An atomic layer deposition is deposited, wherein the depositing the atomic layer deposition controllably trims the plurality of mask features of the patterned organic mask. The atomic layer deposition is broken through. The hardmask is selectively etched with respect to the patterned organic mask, wherein the atomic layer deposition reduces faceting of the plurality of mask features of the patterned organic mask during the selective etching.

Claim (Index 15):
The method, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the hardmask comprises at least one of silicon oxynitride or polysilicon.
