摘要
A precise and simple X-ray mask fabrication technology has been developed. This technology employs low-wafer-temperature (-25-degrees-C) ECR plasma etching for a 0.7-mu-m thick X-ray absorber tungsten pattern using a single-layer-resist mask. The linewidth shift from the resist pattern to the tungsten pattern is approximately 0.02-mu-m. The stress in the tungsten has been controlled to levels as small as 2-3 x 10(8) dyn/cm2.
