    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure generally provide a method of forming a reduced dimension pattern in a hardmask that is optically matched to an overlying photoresist layer. The method generally comprises of application of a dimension shrinking conformal carbon layer over the field region, sidewalls, and bottom portion of the patterned photoresist and the underlying hardmask at temperatures below the decomposition temperature of the photoresist. The methods and embodiments herein further involve removal of the conformal carbon layer from the bottom portion of the patterned photoresist and the hardmask by an etch process to expose the hardmask, etching the exposed hardmask substrate at the bottom portion, followed by the simultaneous removal of the conformal carbon layer, the photoresist, and other carbonaceous components. A hardmask with reduced dimension features for further pattern transfer is thus yielded.

    Abstract: The embodiments herein provides methods for forming a PVD silicon oxide or silicon rich oxide, or PVD SiN or silicon rich SiN, or SiC or silicon rich SiC, or combination of the preceding including a variation which includes controlled doping of hydrogen into the compounds heretofore referred to as SiO x N y C z :H w , where w, x, y, and z can vary in concentration from 0% to 100%, is produced as a hardmask with optical properties that are substantially matched to the photo-resists at the exposure wavelength. Thus making the hardmask optically planarized with respect to the photo-resist. This allows for multiple sequences of litho and etches in the hardmask while the photo-resist maintains essentially no optical topography or reflectivity variations.
