Abstract

1488184 Photomasks WESTERN ELECTRIC CO Inc 13 Feb 1975 [15 Feb 1974] 6228/75 Heading G2X [Also in Division H5] To provide a mask through which microminiature electronic wafers covered by a resist may be exposed in order to reproduce the mask pattern without the need for close contact to eliminate diffraction effects, a polyethylene terephthalate film 36 bonded to a frame 38, subsequently tightened by heating and coated with Au or Pt pattern 40 by e.g. conventional electron photolithography and ion beam milling, forms a shadow on the resist 48 covering wafer 46 in a low vacuum chamber into which 0À4-0À9 nm X-rays enter through a Be or Si window from a point source in a high vacuum chamber Fig. 1 (not shown). The film, absorbing not more than 50% of the X-rays, may be protected from damage by a sputtered B carbide or other X-ray transparent layer 42. To absorb continuous spectrum X-rays while passing characteristic radiation, layer 44 possibly incorporated with protective layer 42 may be selected according to the X-ray tube target material , e.g. Al, Si, Mo, Rh. For Rh Ld radiation 0À46 nm, PVDCPVC copolymer is suitable. The frame 38 should match wafer 46 in expansivity and sensivity to humidity. The resist 48 on the wafer, optionally spaced 50 from the mask, maybe polymethyl methacrylate or other organic material, predominant cross-linking or chain scission under irradiation giving respectively negative or positive resist characteristics on solvent removal of un- or depolymerized areas.
