Popis: A new att-PSM shifter for both F 2 and high-transmittance ArF lithography was developed. This shifter consists of SiON / TaHf in stacked layers. SiON for phase shift layer has a moderate transmittance and refractive index, and has sufficient laser durability. The TaHf film, which is a transmittance control layer, was effective as a functional layer in mask dry etching. Adopting the 3 step etching procedure, low damage of the quartz surface and less impact to CD shift was realized. It was confirmed that a new shifter has also sufficient feasibility to the mask inspection and repair process.
