A method of manufacturing semiconductor devices includes a coating step for coating a substrate using a resist solution including a base resin and a low-oxygen or oxygen-free solvent in which oxygen is removed by nitrogen bubbling, a heating step for heating the substrate coated with the resist, an exposing step for exposing the substrate with radiation to transfer a pattern, and a developing step for developing the exposed substrate. The coating step, the heating step, the exposing step and the developing step are performed under an environment controlled in a low-oxygen or oxygen-free state.

A diffractive optical element for diffracting non-collimated light includes a base surface and a periodic structure formed on the base surface and having a plurality of diffractive surfaces and a plurality of boundary surfaces. The boundary surfaces are separated into plural zones, and in each zone, the boundary surface is placed substantially parallel to a main portion of a light beam impinging on that zone.
摘要:
A method of producing an X-ray mask includes a step of forming a mask pattern on a mask substrate having an amount of warp, and a step of bonding the mask substrate to a mask frame. In both steps, the mask substrate maintains a shape obtained due to the amount of warp. Since the mask substrate is fixed to the mask frame in a warped state, distortion is not produced in the mask pattern. As a result, an X-ray mask, which is suitable for very precise exposure, is provided.
