Abstract
A method for adjusting out of tolerance critical dimensions of an under processed photomask to be within predetermined defined limits after the photosensistive resist material has been removed from the exposed photomask. The method includes measuring the critical dimensions of the opaque material of the under processed photomask after the photosensitive resist material has been removed, and exposing the photomask to electrified plasma gases for removing excess opaque material without degrading the reflectivity of the photomask beyond specified limits.
