    摘要: A reflective mask is described. The mask includes a low thermal expansion material (LTEM) substrate, a conductive layer deposited on a first surface of the LTEM substrate, a stack of reflective multilayers (ML) deposited on a second surface of the LTEM substrate, a capping layer deposited on the stack of reflective ML, a first absorption layer deposited on the first capping layer, a main pattern, and a border ditch. The border ditch reaches to the capping layer, a second absorption layer deposited inside the border ditch, and where the second absorption layer contacts the capping layer. In some instances, the border ditch crosses the capping layer and partially enters the reflective multilayer.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a reticle is provided. The method includes forming a first reflective multilayer over a mask substrate. The method also includes forming a capping layer over the first reflective ML. The method further includes depositing a first absorption layer over the capping layer. In addition, the method includes depositing an etch stop layer over the first absorption layer. The method also includes forming a second reflective multilayer (ML) over the etch stop layer. The method further includes forming a second absorption layer over the second reflective ML. In addition, the method includes forming an opening through the second absorption layer and the second reflective ML until the etch stop layer is exposed. The method also includes etching the etch stop layer and the first absorption layer through the opening until the capping layer is exposed.

    摘要: A photomask having a partial-thickness assist feature and a technique for manufacturing the photomask are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, the photomask includes a mask substrate, a reflective structure disposed on the mask substrate, and an absorptive layer formed on the reflective structure. A printing feature region and an assist feature region are defined on the mask. The absorptive layer has a first thickness in the printing feature region and a second thickness in the assist feature region that is different from the first thickness. In some such embodiments, the second thickness is configured such that radiation reflected by the assist feature region does not exceed an exposure threshold of a photoresist of a target.

    摘要: A method of making a semiconductor device includes forming at least one fiducial mark on a photomask outside of a pattern region of the photomask, and the at least one fiducial mark includes identifying information for the photomask. The method includes defining a pattern including a plurality of sub-patterns on the photomask in the pattern region based on the identifying information. The defining of the pattern includes defining a first sub-pattern of the plurality of sub-patterns having a first spacing from a second sub-pattern of the plurality of sub-patterns, wherein the first spacing is different from a second spacing between the second sub-pattern and a third sub-pattern of the plurality of sub-patterns, or rotating the first sub-pattern about an axis perpendicular to a top surface of the photomask relative to the second sub-pattern. The method includes transferring the pattern from the photomask to a wafer.
