Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the production of a self-supporting spacing mask for a particle radiation-projection system, especially for the selective structuring and/or doping when producing highly integrated circuits. According to the invention, layers of varying compositions are deposited onto a substrate, structured and then partially or completely removed, until the mask structure which is backed by a stable metal grid is produced on the substrate, whereby a special pattern, made like a nuclear filter with statistically distributed pores is used for grid formation.
