A semiconductor device with a substrate includes a structure. The structure has a first part and a second part. At least one section of the edge of the first part of the structure is at an essential constant distance measured parallel to the substrate to a first section of an edge of a second structure. At least one section of the edge of the second part of the structure is lined with an edge of a second section of the same second section. The first section of the edge of the second structure and a second section of the edge of the second structure merge at least at one point, whereby the angle between the tangents of the edges of the first and second section of the second structure is less than 90°. The structure and the second structure are distanced by a spacer structure.

A method is used for processing a structure of a semiconductor component. The structure has at least one partial structure to be etched, in particular a sublithographic partial structure. The at least one partial structure has at least one structure to be etched with at least one lateral etch stop to which at least one mask is applied in such a way that at least one lateral etch stop is covered by the mask and afterward at least one of the structures to be etched is etched away isotropically as far as at least one etch stop using the mask. The at least one mask and the at least one etch stop are then removed.

A lithographic mask comprises a first layer including grooves, a second layer including regions, sections and a groove-like structure that encloses the sections. The first and second layers are formed so as to reduce electrical potential differences within the second layer. A method of forming a lithographic mask includes forming first and second layers to dispose the second layer over the first layer, patterning the second layer to comprise sections, a region, and a groove-like structure enclosing the sections, and forming grooves in the first layer at portions not covered by the second layer. The first and second layers are formed to reduce potential differences within the second layers during the step of forming the grooves in the first layer.

One possible embodiment is a method of manufacturing a structure on or in a substrate with the following steps a) positioning at least one spacer structure by a spacer technique on the substrate, b) using at least one of the groups of the spacer structure and a structure generated by the spacer structure as a mask for a subsequent particle irradiation step for generating a latent image in the substrate c) using the latent image for further processing the substrate.

A single through-the-focus exposure of a semiconductor wafer is achieved by a lithographic projection apparatus, which has the capability of generating an exposure profile comprising substantially two separate portions, or maxima, of exposure light. Both portions of the light are directed to the mask, on which the pattern is formed. The mask is thus exposed coincidently, but on separately located surface positions. Two different patterned portions of the exposure light are then focused onto the wafer. In a preferred embodiment, the two portions are generated by means of a double slit. The exposure is combined with a continuous through-the-focus exposure, wherein a tilt is applied to the wafer stage.

A carrier of light-transmissive material has a mask pattern of light-absorbent material arranged thereon. The carrier comprises first regions and second regions that are not covered by the absorbent material. An optical thickness of the carrier in the first regions differs from an optical thickness in the second regions such that a phase difference of 180.degree.+/-60.degree. exists between light that has traversed the first regions and light that has traversed the second regions. For manufacturing the phase mask, the first regions are produced by isotropic etching of the light-absorbent material and the second regions are produced by anisotropic etching into the carrier.
