Abstract

The present invention provides a method of and system for reducing the absorption of light by opaque material in a photomask. The method includes providing a photomask substrate, and applying an opaque material to one side of the photomask substrate. The interface between the opaque material and photomask substrate reflects at least 80 percent of the light through the photomask.
