Abstract

Embedded attenuated phase shift masks (EAPSMs) are being used in the semiconductor industry for high-density patterning of critical layers, such as gate and contact layers of circuit devices, of the 130 nm node and beyond. This paper focuses on the manufacturing and inspection of ternary (tritone) phase shift masks designed for the 130 nm design-rule generation. The manufacturing flow is presented and the use of the ARISTM100i mask inspection system for inspection is demonstrated.
