Abstract
According to one embodiment, a method for patterning a medium having a patterned hard mask applied thereon is disclosed herein.

The method includes directing ions toward the medium, implanting a portion of the ions into the exposed portions of the medium, removing a layer of the patterned hard mask with another portion of the ions, and depositing hard mask material onto the patterned hard mask. Depositing hard mask material onto the exposed portions of the medium may follow implantation of the portion of the ions into the exposed portions of the medium.
