    摘要: An apparatus, system and method to compensate for the proximity effects in the imaging of patterns in a photolithography process. A light exposure of a photoresist layer is effectuated in predetermined patterns through an exposure mask having light-transmissive openings in correspondence to the predetermined patterns. The exposure mask has areas densely populated with the light-transmissive openings and areas sparsely populated with the light-transmissive openings. Light is attenuated through the densely populated light-transmissive openings by a different amount than through the sparsely populated light-transmissive openings.

    摘要: A half tone mask having a transparent substrate, a light semitransmission layer, and a light shield layer; and a method for fabricating the same. The halftone mask is applied to multiple cycles of a photolithography process, thus shortening a time taken to fabricate the mask and reducing the production costs of the mask. Since a desired pattern is uniformly formed through a light semitransmission layer of the half tone mask of the present invention according to the uniformity of a chrome oxide (CrxOy) film, i.e., the uniformity in sputtering, the halftone mask is not limited in size.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method for forming an optical mask that has reduced processing steps. The invention performs a first patterning of an opaque chrome layer to expose a first region of a transparent quartz substrate and ten etches the first region of the transparent quartz substrate through the chrome layer to create a phase shift region within the transparent quartz substrate. Next, the invention performs additional patterning of the opaque chrome layer to expose a second region of the transparent quartz substrate that is adjacent to the first region. This additional patterning process enlarges the opening formed in the opaque mask formed in the first patterning process. The first region and the second region comprise a continuous area of the transparent quartz substrate.

    摘要: A set of masks including an alternating phase shifting mask (APSM) and a halftone phase shifting trim mask (HPSTM) is provided. The APSM includes first and second phase shifting areas and a first opaque pattern. The first and second phase shifting areas are disposed adjacent to each other and have different phases for generating destructive interference. Further, the first and second phase shifting areas define an access interconnection line. The first opaque pattern is formed on a transparent substrate to define the first and second phase shifting areas. The HPSTM includes a second opaque pattern on the transparent substrate and a halftone pattern. The second opaque pattern prevents an access interconnection line from being erased. The halftone pattern defines a pass interconnection line connected to the access interconnection line.

    摘要: A photomask for use in a lithographic process and a method of making a photomask are disclosed. A mask blank including a substrate, a sacrificial conductive layer disposed over the substrate and a radiation shielding layer disposed over the sacrificial conductive layer can be provided. Structures are then formed from the radiation shielding layer to define a pattern. Measurement of parameters associated with the structures are made with a measurement tool and, during the measuring, the sacrificial conductive layer provides a conductive plane to dissipate charge transferred to the mask by the measurement tool.
