Abstract:
A mask for photolithography includes: a transparent substrate; a phase shift pattern on the transparent substrate and configured to change a phase of light; a dielectric layer on the transparent substrate; and a negative refractive-index meta material layer on the dielectric layer.
Abstract:
A method of forming a pattern includes: preparing a target substrate including a photoresist layer on a base substrate; aligning a phase shift mask to the target substrate, the phase shift mask including a mask substrate comparted into a first region including a first sub region and second sub regions at sides of the first sub region, and second regions at sides of the first region, the phase shift mask including a phase shift layer on the mask substrate corresponding to the first region; fully exposing the photoresist layer at the first sub region and the second regions by utilizing the phase shift mask; and removing the photoresist layer at the first sub region and the second regions to form first and second photoresist patterns corresponding to the second sub regions. Transmittance of the phase shift layer is selected to fully expose the photoresist layer in the first sub region.

Abstract:
A method for forming a fine pattern includes forming an etching target material layer on a substrate, forming a first photoresist layer on the etching target material layer, forming a metal pattern on the first photoresist layer, the metal pattern having a plurality of lines and thin film lines alternately arranged, the lines having predetermined linewidth and thickness and are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance, exciting surface plasmons in the metal pattern by light irradiation to produce a surface plasmon resonance that exposes a fine first pattern shape in the first photoresist layer, forming a first photoresist pattern by removing the metal pattern and developing the first photoresist layer, and etching the etching target material layer by using the first photoresist pattern as a mask.
Abstract:
A mask for etching a target layer includes a mask substrate. A phase inversion layer is disposed to correspond to a non-etched area of a pattern target layer. The phase inversion layer is configured to generate inverted light by inverting a phase of incident light and to transmit the inverted light to the non-etched area of a pattern target layer. An inversion offset part is disposed in a center part of the phase inversion layer. The inversion offset part is configured to generate offset light causing destructive interference with the inverted light in the non-etched area and to provide the offset light to the non-etched area.
