Reflection mask for EUV photolithography and method of fabricating the reflection mask
Abstract:
A reflection mask for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) photolithography and a method of fabricating the same, in which the reflection mask includes a substrate, a lower reflection layer formed in a multi-layer structure on the substrate and including a material reflecting EUV light, an upper reflection layer formed in a multi-layer structure on the lower reflection layer and reflecting EUV light, and a phase reversing layer formed between the lower reflection layer and the upper reflection layer in a certain pattern and causing destructive interference between reflection light from the upper reflection layer and reflection light from the lower reflection layer. An incidence of a shadow effect can be reduced and unnecessary EUV light can be eliminated, so that a pattern on the reflection mask can be projected precisely on a silicon wafer. Since the phase reversing layer includes the same material as the reflection layer and an absorption layer, mask fabrication processes can be handled easily.
