  • Patent number: 7534532
    Abstract: Methods to correct a non-flatness of a mask substrate are described. At least a pair of correction layers are formed on the substrate over a non-flat region of a front surface of a substrate. A thickness of the at least the pair of the correction layers is determined by a peak-to-valley distance of the non-flat region of the substrate. A portion of the correction layers over the non-flat region is heated locally. Heating changes the thickness of the portion of the correction layers and removes the non-flat region from a top surface of the correction layers without physically removing any materials. At least the pair of the correction layers is formed on a back surface of the substrate to compensate for a stress induced by the correction layers on the front surface of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 7300724
    Abstract: An extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) mask blank may include a multilayer (ML) capping structure on the ML reflective coatings on the substrate. The ML capping structure may include alternating layers of a capping material, e.g., ruthenium, and a material with a lower EUV absorption coefficient, e.g., silicon. The top layer of the ML structure may be a layer of the capping material. Capping interfaces between the layers may provide constructive interference of reflected light.

  • Patent number: 7083881
    Abstract: An attenuated phase-shifting photomask (APSM) provides adjustment of attenuation from mask to mask. The APSM includes a multilayer substrate, a buffer thin film coupled to the substrate, and a top layer thin film on top of the buffer thin film. The thin films are etched with a circuit pattern to form a photomask, and are chosen to have certain thicknesses which would provide adjustment of attenuation within a specified attenuation operating range and appropriate phase shift without changing said buffer thin film and said top layer thin film.

  • Patent number: 6998202
    Abstract: An extreme ultraviolet lithography mask may be formed of a multilayered stack covered by a spacer layer, such as silicon or boron carbide, in turn covered by a thin layer to prevent inter-diffusion, and finally covered by a capping layer of ruthenium. By optimizing the spacer layer thickness based on the capping layer, the optical properties may be improved.
