Abstract：
After more than 30 years research and Development, Proximity X-ray lithography has matured considerably and it has many advantages, such as high resolution, long depth of focus, large process latitude, high throughout ,and so on. For X-ray mask absorber, if Au metal is selected, it can only be plated and may pollute the silicon-based integrated circuits. TaSi film can be dry etching and does not pollute the silicon-based integrated circuits, it is a potential candidate for X-ray mask absorber. In this paper , the home-made silicon nitride /TaSi X-ray mask fabrication process is described, unlike the conventional fabrication process, after e-beam exposure and development, is etched Inductively Coupled Plasma(ICP) etching based on SF₆/CHF₃ gas chemistries is used to pattern the TaSi film,using ZEP520 e-beam resist as the barrier layer directly. Primary experimental result demonstrated this X-ray mask fabrication process is feasible.
