ABSTRACT:
The disclosure is related to photomasks used in photolithography and methods of making photomasks. The method involves providing a transparent substrate with one or more reflective films disposed over a surface of the substrate, applying a photoresist to the solution-contacted reflective film and forming a pattern in the photoresist that is transferred to the substrate, and developing the pattern on the substrate by removing the remaining portions of the photoresist. The substrate carrying the patterned reflective film is then contacted with a solution comprising oxyanions. The disclosure is also related to photomasks made using the disclosed method.
