Abstract

A method of manufacturing an X-ray exposure mask comprises steps of forming a membrane including a layer of crystalline silicon carbide on a silicon substrate, processing a top surface of the membrane such that the top surface becomes a mirror-flat top surface, depositing a layer of X-ray absorbing material on the mirror-flat top surface of the membrane, and patterning the layer of the X-ray absorbing material according to a desired semiconductor pattern.
