    摘要: The present invention provides methods and an apparatus controlling and minimizing process defects in a development process, and modifying line width roughness (LWR) of a photoresist layer after the development process, and maintaining good profile control during subsequent etching processes. In one embodiment, a method for forming features on a substrate includes developing and removing exposed areas in the photosensitive layer disposed on the substrate in the electron processing chamber by predominantly using electrons, removing contaminants from the substrate by predominantly using electrons, and etching the non-photosensitive polymer layer exposed by the developed photosensitive layer in the electron processing chamber by predominantly using electrons.

    摘要: In a plasma reactor having an RF plasma source power applicator at its ceiling, an integrally formed grid liner includes a radially extending plasma confinement ring and an axially extending side wall liner. The plasma confinement ring extends radially outwardly near the plane of a workpiece support surface from a pedestal side wall, and includes an annular array of radial slots, each of the slots having a narrow width corresponding to an ion collision mean free path length of a plasma in the chamber. The side wall liner covers an interior surface of the chamber side wall and extends axially from a height near a height of said workpiece support surface to the chamber ceiling.
