Integrated solution with low temperature dry develop for euv photoresist

Abstract

Embodiments disclosed herein may include a method for developing a photopatterned metal oxo photoresist. In an embodiment, the method may include pre-treating the photopatterned metal oxo photoresist with a pre-treatment process, developing the photopatterned metal oxo photoresist with a thermal dry develop process to selectively remove a portion of the photopatterned metal oxo photoresist and form a resist mask. In an embodiment, the thermal dry develop process includes a first sub-operation, and a second sub-operation that is different than the first sub-operation. In an embodiment, the process further includes post-treating the resist mask with a post-treatment process.
