Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method of forming a semiconductor device by patterning a substrate by providing an amorphous silicon layer on the substrate and forming a hard mask layer on the amorphous silicon layer. The amorphous silicon layer is provided with an anti-crystallization dopant to keep the layer amorphous at increased temperatures (relative to not providing the anti-crystallization dopant). The hard mask layer may comprise silicon and nitrogen.
