Abstract

A method and structure for a photomask that includes a substrate having a first transmittance, a first pattern to be transferred to a photosensitive layer (the first pattern having a second transmittance lower than the first transmittance) and a second pattern having a third transmittance greater than the second transmittance and less than the first transmittance. The second pattern is adjacent at least a portion of the first pattern, and the substrate and the second pattern transmit light substantially in phase.
