The use of a surface treatment approach to lithography, depending on a radiation-induced change in hydrophilicity, shows particular promise for deep UV, vacuum ultraviolet and x-ray lithography. For example, hydrophobic chlorinated polystyrene is selectively irradiated in the presence of oxygen producing local hydrophilic regions. Subsequent treatment of these hydrophilic regions with water followed by an organometallic or inorganic gas such as TiCl4 yields a patterned, surface metal oxide suitable as, for example, an etch mask for further patterning of the underlying polymer film and device regions.
