    Abstract: Embodiments herein provide apparatus and methods for performing a deposition and a patterning process on a spacer layer with good profile control in multiple patterning processes. In one embodiment, a method for depositing and patterning a spacer layer during a multiple patterning process includes conformally forming a spacer layer on an outer surface of a patterned structure disposed on a substrate, wherein the patterned structure has a first group of openings defined therebetween, selectively treating a first portion of the spacer layer formed on the substrate without treating a second portion of the spacer layer, and selectively removing the treated first portion of the spacer layer.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the technology include a semiconductor patterning method. The method may include forming a layer of masking material on regions of dielectric material above a semiconductor substrate. The method may include forming a trench through the masking material. This transformation may expose at least a portion of the dielectric material. The method may include forming a protective layer over the exposed portion of the dielectric material. The method may involve removing the masking material from the semiconductor substrate.

    Abstract: Methods of patterning low-k dielectric films are described. In an example, a method of patterning a low-k dielectric film involves forming and patterning a mask layer above a low-k dielectric layer. The low-k dielectric layer is disposed above a substrate. The method also involves modifying exposed portions of the low-k dielectric layer with a plasma process. The method also involves, in the same operation, removing, with a remote plasma process, the modified portions of the low-k dielectric layer selective to the mask layer and unmodified portions of the low-k dielectric layer.

    Abstract: Exemplary processing methods may include providing a silicon-containing precursor to a processing region of a semiconductor processing chamber. A substrate may be housed in the processing region. The substrate may define a feature. The methods may include forming plasma effluents of the silicon-containing precursor. The methods may include depositing a silicon-containing material on the substrate. The methods may include providing an oxygen-containing precursor to the processing region, forming plasma effluents of the oxygen-containing precursor, and contacting the silicon-containing material with the plasma effluents of the oxygen-containing precursor to form a silicon-and-oxygen-containing material. The methods may include providing a fluorine-containing precursor to the processing region, forming plasma effluents of the fluorine-containing precursor, and etching the silicon-and-oxygen-containing material from a top, a sidewall, or both of the feature with the plasma effluents of the fluorine-containing precursor.
