Zusammenfassung:	A photomask and a method of fabricating the photomask. The photomask including: a substrate transparent to a selected wavelength or wavelengths of radiation, the substrate having a top surface and an opposite bottom surface, the substrate having a printable region and a non-printable region; the printable region having first opaque regions raised above the top surface of the substrate adjacent to clear regions, each opaque region of the first opaque regions having sidewalls and opposite top and bottom surfaces, the first opaque regions including a metal; the non-printable region including metal second opaque region raised above the top surface of the substrate, the second opaque region having sidewalls and opposite top and bottom surface, the second opaque regions including the metal; and a conformal protective metal oxide capping layer on top surfaces and sidewalls of the first and second opaque regions. The conformal layer is formed by oxidation.
