ABSTRACT:
In the formation of a semiconductor device, one or more hardmasks are formed during a process for patterning a device feature. One or more of the hardmasks is subjected to an isotropic etch to trim the hardmask prior to patterning an underlying layer. The trimmed hardmask layer is preferably an amorphous carbon layer.
