Abstract

A method for etching a multi-layer resist defined over a substrate in a plasma etch chamber is provided. The method initiates with introducing the substrate having a pattern defined on a first layer of the multi-layer resist into the etch chamber. SO2 gas flows into the etch chamber and a plasma is struck in the etch chamber while flowing the SO2 gas. The multi-layer resist is then etched.
