Abstract

Soft carbon-K X-rays (38) expose a PMMA photoresist (31) on an oxide layer (32) of a silicon substrate (33) through a parent mask (30) separated a distance S from the resist by a spacer (34) with the parent mask slits (12, 17) defining a spatial period p to establish an intensity pattern of period p/n at the photomask with S=p.sup.2 /n.lambda., where .lambda. is the wavelength of the incident radiation and .lambda.<p.
