    Abstract: Methods and controllers for controlling focus of ultraviolet light produced by a lithographic imaging system, and apparatuses for forming an integrated circuit employing the same are provided. In an embodiment, a method includes providing a wafer having a resist film disposed thereon. The resist film is patterned through illumination of a lithography mask with ultraviolet light at an off-normal incidence angle with a first test pattern formed at a first pitch and a second test pattern formed at a second pitch different from the first pitch. Non-telecentricity induced shift of the first and second test patterns is measured to produce relative shift data using a measurement device. Focus of the ultraviolet light is adjusted based upon comparison of the relative shift data to a pre-determined correlation between the non-telecentricity induced shift of the first and second test patterns as a function of focus error.

    Abstract: A method for fabricating integrated circuits includes fabricating an EUV mask by providing a photomask having a border region. A photoresist is formed over the photomask and has a border region overlying the border region of the photomask. The method exposes an inner portion and an outer portion of the photoresist border region. The method removes the inner portion and the outer portion to expose the border region of the photomask. The border region of the photomask is etched using the photoresist as a mask to form the EUV mask with a non-reflective border. The photoresist is removed from the EUV mask. The method includes forming another photoresist over a partially-fabricated integrated circuit layer and patterning the photoresist by exposure to EUV light reflected from the EUV mask to expose portions of the partially-fabricated integrated circuit layer. Portions of the partially-fabricated integrated circuit layer and the photoresist are removed.
