    Abstract: A method for forming a feature in a layer with reduced line edge roughening is provided. A photoresist layer is formed over the layer. The photoresist layer is patterned to form photoresist features with photoresist sidewalls. A sidewall layer with a thickness less than 100 nm is formed over the sidewalls of the photoresist features by performing for a plurality of cycles. Each cycle comprises depositing a layer on the photoresist layer wherein the deposited layer has a thickness between a monolayer to 20 nm. Features are etched into the layer through the photoresist features. The photoresist layer and sidewall layer are stripped.

    Abstract: A feature in a layer (308) is provided. A photoresist layer is formed over the layer (308). The photoresist layer is patterned to form photoresist features (312) with photoresist sidewalls, where the photoresist features (312) have a first critical dimension (316). A conformal layer (320) is deposited over the sidewalls of the photoresist features (312) to reduce the critical dimensions of the photoresist features (312). Features are etched into the layer (308), wherein the layer (308) features have a second critical dimension (324), which is less than the first critical dimension (316).

    Abstract: A method for forming features in an etch layer is provided. A first mask is formed over the etch layer where the first mask defines a plurality of spaces with widths. The first mask is laterally etched where the etched first mask defines a plurality of spaces with widths that are greater than the widths of the spaces of the first mask. A sidewall layer is formed over the etched first mask where the sidewall layer defines a plurality of spaces with widths that are less than the widths of the spaces defined by the etched first mask. Features are etched into the etch layer through the sidewall layer, where the features have widths that are smaller than the widths of the spaces defined by the etched first mask. The mask and sidewall layer are removed.

The substrate is placed (404) in a process chamber, which is able to provide RF power at a first frequency, a second frequency different than the first frequency, and a third frequency different than the first and second frequency. An etchant gas is provided (408) to the process chamber. A first etch step is provided (412) where the first frequency, the second frequency, and the third frequency are at power settings for the first etch step.
