Method to form reduced dimension pattern with good edge roughness

As feature sizes approach 0.1 .mu.m or smaller, reduction of line edge roughness (LER) becomes increasingly important. Significant reductions in edge roughness have been achieved by applying a second Ebeam exposure after the initial one thatis used to define the pattern. After this second blanket exposure a longer heat treatment and a stronger development process than before are used. In addition to reducing edge roughness the disclosed treatment allows the CD to be reduced under tight control since the amount of CD reduction is proportional to the second Ebeam dosage.
