ABSTRACT:
A pattern in a surface is defined by providing on the surface a hard mask material; depositing an anti-reflective coating on the hard mask material; applying a photoresist layer on the anti-reflective coating; patterning the photoresist layer, anti-reflective layer and hard mask material; and removing the remaining portions of the photoresist layer and anti-reflective layer; and then patterning the substrate using the hard mask as the mask. Also provided is a structure for defining a pattern in a surface which comprises a surface having a hard mask material thereon; an anti-reflective coating located on the hard mask material; and a photoresist located on the anti-reflective coating. Also provided is an etchant composition for removing the hard mask material which comprises an aqueous composition of HF and chlorine.
