A method of providing a pattern on a substrate is disclosed. The method includes providing a layer of photoresist on the substrate, providing a layer of top coating over the layer of photoresist, lithographically exposing the photoresist layer and developing the photoresist to form a structure, covering the structure with a coating layer, inducing a chemical reaction between the photoresist and the coating layer, which reaction does not occur in the top coating, to form regions of modified coating layer, and removing unmodified coating layer to leave behind a patterned structure formed from the regions of modified coating layer.
