摘要: A method for fabricating a photomask is provided. The method includes several operations. A photomask substrate, having a chip region and a peripheral region adjacent to the chip region, is received. A reference pattern is formed by emitting one first radiation shot and a first beta pattern is formed by emitting a plurality of second radiation shots in the peripheral region. The plurality of second radiation shots are emitted along a first direction. A roughness of a boundary of the first beta pattern along the first direction is compared to a roughness of a boundary of the reference pattern along the first direction from a top view perspective. An alignment of the plurality of second radiation shots is adjusted if a result of the comparison exceeds a tolerance, or the photomask is formed. A photomask structure thereof and a method for manufacturing a semiconductor are also provided.

摘要: A method for forming a photomask includes receiving a substrate having a first layer formed thereon, wherein a patterned second layer exposing portions of the first layer is disposed over the substrate, removing the exposed portions of the first layer through the patterned second layer to form a plurality of openings in the first layer, removing the patterned second layer, and performing a wet etching to remove portions of the first layer to widen the plurality of openings with an etchant. The etchant is in contact with a top surface of the first layer and sidewalls of the plurality of openings. Each of the plurality of openings has a first width prior to the performing of the wet etching and a second width after the performing of the wet etching. The second width is greater than the first width.

摘要: A method for forming a photomask includes receiving a mask substrate including a protecting layer and a shielding layer formed thereon, removing portions of the shielding layer to form a patterned shielding layer, and providing a BSE detector to monitor the removing of the portions of the shielding layer. When a difference in BSE intensities obtained from the BSE detector is greater than approximately 30%, the removing of the portions of the shielding layer is stopped. The BSE intensity in following etching loops becomes stable.
