    Abstract: An attenuating phase shifting mask for forming contact holes in a layer of negative resist, a method of forming the mask, and a method of forming the contact holes are described. The mask is formed from a mask blank having a layer of attenuating phase shifting material formed on a transparent mask blank. The attenuating phase shifting material has a transmittance of greater than 20% and between about 20% and 50% for light having a wavelength of 193 nanometers. The mask is a dark tone mask having mask elements formed of the attenuating phase shifting material at the locations of the mask corresponding to the locations of the contact holes. The mask is used to expose a layer of negative resist which is then developed to form the contact holes.

    Abstract: A method for exposing a blanket photoresist layer employs: (1) a first direct write exposure of the blanket photoresist layer to form therein an exposed peripheral sub-region of a desired exposed pattern; and (2) a second masked photoexposure of the blanket photoresist layer to form therein a masked photoexposed bulk sub-region of the desired exposed pattern which overlaps but does not extend beyond the exposed peripheral sub-region. The once masked photoexposed once direct write exposed blanket photoresist layer may be developed to form a patterned photoresist layer employed for forming a patterned opaque layer border within an opaque bordered attenuated phase shift mask.

    Abstract: A method of patterning an attenuated phase-shifting mask from a mask blank, is provided. The mask blank has an attenuating and phase-shifting layer formed over a transparent layer. The phase-shifting layer has an initial thickness. The initial thickness of the phase-shifting layer is adapted to provide a first predetermined phase shift for a first wavelength of light passing therethrough. The initial thickness of the phase shifting layer is reduced to a first thickness. Portions of the phase-shifting layer are removed to form a pattern of clear areas. The first thickness of the phase-shifting layer at dark areas is adapted to provide a second predetermined phase shift for a second wavelength of light passing therethrough relative to the same light of the second wavelength passing through the clear areas. The first wavelength differs from the second wavelength.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a MEMS-based micro-oscillator which can generate specific vortical pattern in a micro-channel. The micro-vortex generator is composed of a suspended bridge with a gold-plated, rectangular flat-plate as the primary structure. When an AC current passed through the gold leads under an external magnetic field, the plate will oscillate due to Lorenz force, thereby generating micro-vortices.

The invention etches a single trench in the quartz substrate of the phase shifter mask and removes the impact of a void in the phase shifter material. Alternatively, the invention provides for first conventionally restoring the original dimensions of a contact hole in which a pinhole is present and then etching a single or a double trench in the exposed substrate of the restored contact opening.
