Abstract:
In an example, a method includes depositing an organic polymer layer on one or more material layers. The method also includes thermally curing the organic polymer layer. The method includes depositing a hard mask on the organic polymer layer and depositing a photoresist layer on the hard mask. The method also includes patterning the photoresist layer to expose at least a portion of the hard mask. The method includes etching the exposed portion of the hard mask to expose at least a portion of the organic polymer layer. The method also includes etching the exposed portion of the organic polymer layer to expose at least a portion of the one or more material layers.
