ABSTRACT:
A method for fabricating a sub-micron geometry semiconductor device using a chromeless mask. An optical exposure system (22) directs light through a chromeless mask (21). The chromeless mask (21) uses destructive interference of light to pattern a light sensitive material (32) on a semiconductor wafer (28). Phase differences in light passing thru chromeless mask (21) creates dark regions which form a non-exposed area of light sensitive material (37). The exposed light sensitive material is removed. The non-exposed area of light sensitive material (37) which remains, protects the gate material underneath it, as all other gate material is removed from the wafer. The non-exposed area of light sensitive material (37) is removed leaving a sub-micron gate (39). A drain and source is then formed to complete the device.
