ABSTRACT:
In order to obtain shorter exposure time and to obtain a longer life in x-ray lithography apparatus, an x-ray target made of tungsten is utilized and the apparatus operated to generate the tungsten M-line, this line being at a wavelength which will be absorbed by the resist normally used in lithography. To develop the resist, which was initially designed for use in an electron beam lithography, a developing method is used in which a initial short development with a high concentration is first carried out followed by a longer, full development with a concentration which is approximately the lowest at which complete development will take place.
