ABSTRACT:
A reflective reticle includes reflective regions of different phases, with one of the reflective regions being, for example, 180 degrees out of phase with another region. The reflective reticle also includes absorptive regions, which may be placed between reflective regions of opposite phases. The reticle may include a reflector, made up of multiple reflective layers, atop a substrate of absorptive material. The reflector may have some of the reflective areas removed in the phase-shift regions, and substantially all of the reflective layers removed in the absorptive regions. The reticle may allow for greater resolution extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography.
