ABSTRACT:
A reworkable EUV mask (100) includes a substrate (40), a reflective layer (42) overlying the substrate (40), and a buffer layer (44) overlying the reflective layer (42). An absorbing layer (102) composed of primarily a non-heavy metal material overlies the buffer layer (44) for absorbing radiation which is incident thereon. The absorbing layer (102) exhibits a substantially high etch selectivity with respect to the reflective layer (42) and thus is easily removed without substantially impacting the reflectivity of the reflective layer (42) during rework.
