    Abstract: A subtractive method for making a Levenson type lithographic phase shift mask using a sacrificial etch monitor film in which some of the monitor film is left standing on the opaque portions of the mask. The monitor film otherwise is consumed when it is simultaneously etched with selected portions of the mask substrate to produce recesses of desired depth in the substrate. The etching is stopped upon detecting that the etched monitor film is completely consumed. The technique also is adapted for the fabrication of a RIM type lithographic phase shift mask combined with the Levenson type phase shift mask in the same mask. The technique further is adapted to include 90 degree shift transitions at the end of the Levenson line-space pairs of the mask. The monitor film left standing on the opaque portions of the mask provides self-aligned phase error correction to offset sidewall scattering in the Levenson type mask.

    Abstract translation: 使用牺牲蚀刻监测膜制造莱文森型光刻相移掩模的减法方法,其中一些监测膜留在掩模的不透明部分上。 当与掩模基板的选定部分同时蚀刻时,监视器膜被消耗以在基板中产生所需深度的凹槽。 检测到蚀刻的监视膜被完全消耗后,停止蚀刻。 该技术还适用于在相同的掩模中制造与莱文森型相移掩模组合的RIM型光刻相移掩模。 该技术进一步适于在掩模的Levenson线空间对的末端包括90度移位转变。 静置在掩模的不透明部分上的监视器胶片提供自对准相位误差校正以抵消莱文森型掩模中的侧壁散射。
