Abstract

A substrate having a film to be etched is coated with a carbon film. The carbon film is then coated with an organic mask. The mask is then patterned to expose portions of the carbon film. Plasma etching is then utilized to remove portions of the carbon film not covered by the mask, followed by wet etching to form a predetermined pattern in the film on the substrate.
