    摘要: The present invention relates to reflective masks and their use for reflecting extreme ultraviolet soft x-ray photons to enable the use of extreme ultraviolet soft x-ray radiation projection lithographic methods and systems for producing integrated circuits and forming patterns with extremely small feature dimensions. The projection lithographic method includes providing an illumination sub-system for producing and directing an extreme ultraviolet soft x-ray radiation &lgr; from an extreme ultraviolet soft x-ray source; providing a mask sub-system illuminated by the extreme ultraviolet soft x-ray radiation &lgr; produced by the illumination sub-system and providing the mask sub-system includes providing a patterned reflective mask for forming a projected mask pattern when illuminated by radiation &lgr;. Providing the patterned reflective mask includes providing a Ti doped high purity SiO2 glass wafer with a patterned absorbing overlay overlaying the reflective multilayer coated Ti doped high purity SiO2 glass defect free wafer surface that has an Ra roughness≦0.15 nm. The method includes providing a projection sub-system and a print media subject wafer which has a radiation sensitive wafer surface wherein the projection sub-system projects the projected mask pattern from the patterned reflective mask onto the radiation sensitive wafer surface.

    摘要: An inexpensive lightweight mirror blank having good dimensional stability, and a method of making the same is provided. The mirror blank includes an extruded ceramic honeycomb core and a faceplate bonded or otherwise affixed to the front surface of the core. The extruded honeycomb core is comprised of a matrix of cell walls defining an array of cells, with the number of cells being greater than about 16 cells per square inch, to render the core extremely light in weight yet sufficiently rigid and strong to support the optical faceplate. The faceplate is formed from a material that is capable of being polished to an optical surface. An optional back plate can be bonded or otherwise affixed to the back surface of the core in order to improve stiffness and mechanical stability of the mirror blank.
