Abstract: A method for inspecting a phase shift photomask employs a phase shift photomask having an active pattern region. An optical property of the phase shift photomask is measured within the active pattern region, rather than, for example, a non-active pattern border region. By making the measurement within the active pattern region, performance of the phase shift mask may be properly assured. The method is particularly useful for inspecting attenuated phase shift photomasks to assure absence of side-lobes when photoexposing blanket photoresist layers.
