Abstract

Master and working photomasks are made using a photoresist darkened on and bonded to respective quartz substrates. The working photomask is formed by deep ultraviolet light exposure through an electron beam patterned master mask. Deep ultraviolet light is also used to pattern a resist on a silicon slice through the working mask. The same resist is preferably used on the slice and both masks.
