摘要: Focused ion beam (FIB) repair of chromium defects on photomasks and reticles leaves a post stain in the quartz substrate. The wavelength dependent absorption properties typical stained regions have been measured, showing transition losses up to 80% deep UV. A simple model is good qualitative agreement with experimental results.
