Abstract

A method of forming a semiconductor device includes receiving a substrate in a plasma chamber, the substrate comprising an EUV patterned first mask material comprising a metal-based resist (MBR) and an underlying layer disposed between the substrate and the first mask material; depositing, selectively, a second mask material on the first masking layer using a first plasma comprising a source gas that reacts selectively with the first masking layer relative to the underlying layer; and etching the portion of the underlying layer to form a patterned underlying layer using the second masking layer and the first masking layer as an etch mask.
