Abstract: A method of retaining the integrity of a photoresist pattern is provided where the patterned photoresist is treated prior to etching the principle layer. The pre-etch treatment encompasses a plasma treatment. In some embodiments employing an anti-reflective coating (ARC) layer, an isolation/protective layer is used to isolate the ARC from the photoresist. In some embodiments, the pre-etch treatment, advantageously provides for patterning the isolation/protection layer.
