ABSTRACT:
A method of repairing clear defects on a template such as a mask or reticle that includes the steps of directing a focused ion beam (FIB) to fill the clear defect with a carbon film and directing a FIB in the presence of a water containing gas to remove the carbon halo from around the clear defect repair area. The end of the carbon halo removal process may be detected by monitoring a change in the intensity of a secondary signal. The template is exposed to a basic solution to remove ion stains produced by the FIB. According to this method, clear defects are repaired and the carbon halo formed around the clear defect repair area of the template are removed.
