ABSTRACT:
This invention describes the use and method of fabrication of a chromeless quantum phase shift mask and of a chromeless quantum phase shift build-on blank. The build-on blank can be readily inspected, stored for future use, and completed with a feature pattern when needed. The quantum phase shift mask provides improved image resolution and depth of focus tolerance. The quantum phase shift mask requires little or no CAD, or computer aided design, modification over that used for conventional masks.
