Abstract

A method for forming lines in an etch layer on a substrate may comprise providing a ultra-violet (UV) producing gas to a vacuum chamber having a photoresist mask, ionizing the UV producing gas to produce UV rays to irradiate the photoresist mask, and etching the lines into the etch layer through the photoresist mask.
