An apparatus for etching features in an etch layer is provided. A plasma processing chamber is provided, comprising a chamber wall, a chuck, a pressure regulator, an electrode or coil, a gas inlet, and a gas outlet. A gas source comprises a fluorine free deposition gas source and an etch gas source. A controller comprises at least one processor and computer readable media, comprising computer readable code for providing a conditioning for a patterned pseudo-hardmask, wherein the conditioning comprises computer readable code providing a fluorine free deposition gas comprising a hydrocarbon gas, computer readable code for forming a plasma, computer readable code for providing a bias less than 500 volts, and computer readable code for forming a deposition on top of the patterned pseudo-hardmask, computer readable code for etching the etch layer, and computer readable code for cyclically repeating the conditioning and etching at least twice.
