ABSTRACT:
A method of fabricating an integrated circuit device is described in which fluorine ions are implanted into the patterned photoresist and the exposed polysilicon layer prior to etching the polysilicon. The ion implantation minimizes the chemical reaction between the photoresist and etchant, thereby significantly reducing the formation of polysilicon etch delta, and also significantly reducing etch delta variation due to pattern density variations.
