Abstract

A photomask for use in forming a photoresist pattern by projection exposure, comprising opaque stripes respectively arranged on a mask substrate at a given pitch and phase shifters formed alternately on light-transmissive areas between said opaque stripes. The widths of the opaque stripes are larger than those of said light-transmissive areas whereby the edges of said phase shifters on said light-transmissive areas are prevented from being transferred to a wafer.
