Abstract

A lithography method for plating sub-100 nm narrow trenches, including providing a thin undercoat dissolution layer intermediate a seed layer and a resist layer, wherein the undercoat dissolution layer is relatively completely cleared off the seed layer by the developer solution such that the sides of the narrow trench will be generally vertical, particularly at the base of the narrow trench, thus facilitating plating the narrow trench with a high magnetic moment material.
