Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the sticking of dust to the edge parts of patterns and the stain of these parts and to eliminate the chipping in the edge parts so as to eliminate the pattern defects to be transferred onto a wafer at the time of exposing a lithographic stage by embedding a mask material into a transparent substrate and flattening both surfaces of the reticule. CONSTITUTION:A groove 3 is formed on the glass substrate 1 and the mask material 2 consisting of chromium or chromium oxide is embedded into this groove 3, by which the reticule is constituted. A method of forming a mask consisting of a photoresist on the substrate 1, etching the substrate 1 by using this mask to form the groove 3, then depositing the mask material 2 in this state by a bias sputtering method to fill the groove, and removing the mask to remove the unnecessary mask material is used for forming this reticule. Since the mask material 2 is embedded in the groove 3 in this way, the sticking of the dust to the edge parts of the patterns consisting of the mask material 3 by washing and the chipping of the edge parts are obviated.

The above-mentioned conventional reticle has an uneven surface on which the pattern is formed, so when cleaning the reticle, especially when brush scrubbing, dust may adhere to the edge of the pattern, and as the number of cleanings increases, the edge of the pattern may become dry. This has the disadvantage that the accuracy of the transferred pattern decreases.
