Abstract

A photomask and a method of controlling a transmittance and phase of light using the photomask are disclosed. The photomask comprises a transparent substrate, and a plurality of lattices formed on the back face of the transparent substrate. The plurality of lattices are binary lattices, each having a duty ratio and a tilt angle. The duty ratio and tilt angle are controlled together in order to simultaneously control transmittance and phase of light transmitted through the photomask.
