Abstract
A method of forming a semiconductor device includes depositing a first layer over a substrate and patterning the first layer using an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography process to form a patterned layer and expose portions of the substrate. The method includes, in a plasma processing chamber, generating a first plasma from a gas mixture including SiCl4 and one or more of argon, helium, nitrogen, and hydrogen. The method includes exposing the substrate to the first plasma to deposit a second layer including silicon over the patterned layer.
