Abstract
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device. The method comprises depositing a material layer on a semiconductor substrate and patterning the material layer with a patterning material. Patterning forms a patterned structure of a semiconductor device, wherein the patterned structure has a sidewall with a roughness associated therewith. The method also comprises removing the patterning material from the patterned structure and annealing an outer surface of the patterned structure such that the roughness is reduced.
