Abstract

A method of fabricating a halftone phase shift mask, comprising: forming a structure by sequentially stacking a light blocking layer pattern defining a side surface and a phase shift layer pattern over a light transmitting substrate; and treating the structure with heat to make the phase shift layer pattern flow and cover the side surface of the light blocking layer pattern.
