Euv patterning using photomask substrate topography

A photomask includes a substrate having a top surface. A topographical feature is formed on the top surface of the substrate. The topographical feature may be a bump or a pit created on the top surface of the substrate. A reflector is formed on the top surface of the substrate over the topographical...

Zusammenfassung:A photomask includes a substrate having a top surface. A topographical feature is formed on the top surface of the substrate. The topographical feature may be a bump or a pit created on the top surface of the substrate. A reflector is formed on the top surface of the substrate over the topographical feature. The topographical feature warps the reflector in order to generate phase and/or amplitude gradients in light reflected off the reflector. An absorber is patterned on the reflector defining lithographic patterns for a resist material. The gradients in the light reflected off the reflector create shadow regions during lithography of the resist material using extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light.
