摘要:
A main object of the invention is to provide a reflective mask for EUV lithography, which may detect an alignment mark by transmission. The invention achieves the object by providing a reflective mask comprising a substrate, a multilayer formed on one side of the substrate, an intermediate layer formed on the multilayer, an absorber formed in pattern on the substrate on which the multilayer and the intermediate layer are formed, and a conductive layer formed on the other side of the substrate, wherein the pattern of the absorber constitutes a circuit pattern and an alignment mark, and in an alignment region where the alignment mark is provided, the other side of the substrate is exposed.
摘要:
The invention provides a gradated photomask for reducing photolithography steps and its fabrication process, which make use of a generally available photomask blank, prevents the reflectance of a light shield film from growing high, makes alignment easy during the formation of a semitransparent film, and enables the semitransparent film on a light shield pattern with good step coverage. A photomask (100) comprises a mixture of a light shield area including a light shield film (114) having a desired pattern on a transparent substrate wherein a film forming the pattern is substantially opaque to photolithographic light, a semitransparent film (113) that transmits the photolithographic light at a desired transmittance, and the light shield film (114) and the semitransparent film (113) are stacked on the transparent substrate (101) in that order; a semi-transparent area wherein there is only the semitransparent film (113); and a transmissive area there is neither the light shield film (114) nor the semitransparent film (113), and is characterized in that the semitransparent film (113) has an antireflection function with respect to the photolithographic light.
