ABSTRACT:
A method of hardening photoresist (24) by bombardment with ionized particles (42), such as argon. Ionic bombardment causes formation of a hardened skin (22) on the exposed top (30) and side walls (32) of the photoresist (24). The hardened skin erodes at a reduced rate during etching and is less likely to react with products created during etching, thereby allowing etching of more accurate line widths and gaps.
