Abstract
A thin film mask for use in an X-ray lithographic process is disclosed herein along with a method of making the mask which is comprised of a diamond thin film layer supported on one surface of an X-ray transparent non-diamond substrate, for example silicon. A predetermined pattern of ions of a substance opaque to X-rays, for example a heavy atomic number substance such as gold, tungsten or cesium, is introduced into the diamond thin film layer as opposed to being deposited thereon. In one embodiment disclosed herein, this is accomplished by means of ion implantation, and in a second embodiment by means of an ion beam direct write device.
