Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates generally to integrated circuit (IC) fabrication equipment. More particularly, the present invention relates to an attenuated phase shift mask and a method of manufacturing an attenuated phase shift mask. An attenuated phase shift mask utilizes a multilayer which has been locally modified. Heat treatment or e-beam treatment can locally modify the multilayer to provide different reflective characteristics. The attenuated phase shift mask can be utilized in EUV applications.
