Abstract
The present disclosure describes a method of forming a dielectric layer or a dielectric stack on a photoresist layer while minimizing or avoiding damage to the photoresist. In addition, the dielectric layer or dielectric stack can till high-aspect ratio openings and can be removed with etching. The dielectric layer or dielectric stack can be deposited with a conformal, low-temperature chemical vapor deposition process or a conformal, low-temperature atomic layer deposition process that utilizes a number of precursors and plasmas or reactant gases.
