Abstract: A fabricating method of reducing photoresist footing includes providing a silicon nitride layer. Later, a fluorination process is performed to graft fluoride ions onto a top surface of the silicon nitride layer. After the fluorination process, a photoresist is formed to contact the top surface of the silicon nitride layer. Finally, the photoresist is patterned to remove at least part of the photoresist contacting the silicon nitride layer.
