Summary on Grant Application Form |
Current methods of photomask manufacture which rely on imported raw material from Japan, will have to adapt in order to produce the x-ray masks which will be required for future high density integrated circuits. We propose here a means to achieve this by using electro-induced decomposition of a novel range of organometallic compounds on to x-ray-transparent membranes. We have demonstrated the feasibility of this approach and plan to evaluate the performance of the x-ray masks by using the laser plasma x-ray source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.
