    Abstract: A laser annealing method performed on a reflective photomask may include preparing a reflective photomask including a pattern area and a border area surrounding the pattern area and irradiating a laser beam onto the border area of the reflective photomask. The irradiating of the laser beam may include split-irradiating a plurality of laser beam spots onto the border area. Each of the plurality of laser beam spots may be shaped using a beam shaper. The beam shaper may include a blind area, a transparent area at a center of the blind area, and a semitransparent area between the blind area and the transparent area. Each of the plurality of laser beam spots may include a center portion passing through the transparent area and having a uniform energy profile and an edge portion passing through the semitransparent area and having an inclined energy profile.

    Abstract: Disclosed are photomask manufacturing methods and semiconductor device fabrication methods. The photomask manufacturing method includes forming a reflective layer on a mask substrate having an image region and an edge region surrounding the image region, forming an absorption pattern on the reflective layer, forming a black border by irradiating a first laser beam to the reflective layer and the absorption pattern on the edge region, using a photomask having the black border to provide a test substrate with an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) beam to form a test pattern, obtaining a critical dimension correction map of the test pattern, and using the critical dimension correction map to irradiate a second laser beam to the reflective layer on a portion of the image region to form an annealed region that is thicker than the black border.
