Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to processing a workpiece containing a substrate during deposition, etching, and/or curing processes with a mask to have localized deposition on the workpiece. A mask is placed on a first layer of a workpiece, which protects a plurality of trenches from deposition of a second layer. In some embodiments, the mask is placed before deposition of the second layer. In other embodiments, the second layer is cured before the mask is deposited. In other embodiments, the second layer is etched after the mask is deposited. Methods disclosed herein allow the deposition of a second layer in some of the trenches present in the workpiece, while at least partially preventing deposition of the second layer in other trenches present in the workpiece.
