Abstract

A subresolution grating composed of approximately circular contacts is fabricated around the border of the primary pattern of a photomask. As a result, resolution at the edges of the photomask pattern is improved when the pattern is printed on a wafer surface. In addition, the reduced leakage enables a more efficient use of the glass plate on which the photomask is fabricated as well as a more efficient use of the wafer surface as a result of being able to place patterns closer together.
