    摘要: An alternating phase shift mask for use with extreme ultraviolet lithography is provided. A substrate with a planar top surface is used as a base for the phase shift mask. A spacer layer serves as a Fabry-Perot cavity for controlling the phase shift difference between two adjacent surfaces of the phase shift mask and controlling the reflectivity from the top of the second multilayer. A protective layer serves as an etch stop layer to protect a first multilayer region in certain regions of the phase shift mask, while other regions of the phase shift mask utilize a second multilayer region for achieving a phase shift difference. Some embodiments may further include an absorber layer region to provide areas with no reflectance, in addition to the areas of alternating phase shift. Embodiments of the present invention may be used to monitor the focus and aberration of a lithography tool.

    摘要: Methods are provided for fabricating a process structure, such as a mask or mask blank. The methods include, for instance: providing a silicon substrate; forming a multi-layer, extreme ultra-violet lithography (EUVL) structure over the silicon substrate; subsequent to forming the multi-layer EUVL structure over the crystalline substrate, reducing a thickness of the silicon substrate; and attaching a low-thermal-expansion material (LTEM) substrate to one of the multi-layer EUVL structure, or the reduced silicon substrate. In one implementation, the silicon substrate is a silicon wafer with a substantially defect-free surface upon which the multi-layer EUVL structure is formed. The multi-layer EUVL structure may include multiple bi-layers of a first material and a second material, as well as a capping layer, and optionally, an absorber layer, where the absorber layer is patternable to facilitating forming a EUVL mask from the process structure.
