    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a structure, capable of simultaneously projecting a periodic line interval plane diffraction grating of a memory cell region and a peripheral structure pattern that is formed intricately. SOLUTION: The quality of image formation, when an image is simultaneously transmitted from a line interval plane diffraction grating and a peripheral structure including MUX row, is improved by using a quadrupole illumination. Four poles 14a to 14d of this quadrupole illumination extend in the longitudinal direction, and the axis 112 of the pole in the longitudinal direction is located vertical, with respect to the row direction of the grating row of a mask. Thus, the contrast of a structure image formation of the line interval planar diffraction grating, MEEF, and a process window can be improved. Meanwhile, the geometrical accuracy of the peripheral structure (particularly, MUX row) is stabilized by an illumination pupil 18, extending over the entire wide depth range of focus.

    Abstract: According to the invention, auxiliary openings (2) are allocated to the openings (1) on a mask which are to be transferred onto a wafer. Said auxiliary openings have a phase shifting characteristic of preferably between 160 DEG and 200 DEG in relation to the openings (1), as well as a cross-section which is less than the limit dimension (31) for the printing of the projection device, so that the auxiliary openings (2) themselves cannot be printed onto the wafer. At the same time, however, they strengthen the contrast of the aerial image of an associated insulated or semi-insulated opening (1) on the wafer in particular. According to one form of embodiment, the distance of the auxiliary openings (2) from the opening (1) is greater than the resolution limit of the projection device, the opening being less than the coherence length of the light used for projection. The effect of the auxiliary openings consists of the phase-related use of the optical proximity effect. If the auxiliary openings (2) are arranged in a preferred direction, this effect can be used on quadratic openings (1) on the mask to produce elliptic structures (1') on a wafer. The result is a considerable widening of the process window for the projection of substrate contacting planes onto a wafer.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a phase shifting mask (8) having symmetrical structures (1, 2) for the production of adjacent pairs (5) of structures (1', 2') on a semiconductor wafer (9), such as pairs of trench capacitors for memory modules, the structures (1, 2) inside the pair having a phase deviation difference of 180 DEG in relation to each other. The dimensions of the structures at the limit of resolution of the lighting system enable the influence of lens aberrations on the difference in line width created between the right and the left to be reduced. The invention also relates to a method for producing the structures (1', 2') on the wafer (9), consisting of a step in which the phase attribution to the right structure (2) or left structure (1) is selected according to the sign of the difference in line width when said difference is measured without phase attribution, using the same lighting system.

    Abstract: Structure patterns mutually correlated on masks are projected onto the same photosensitive layer (R) on semiconductor wafer (W) in projection system. The first mask (P) contains opaque structure element (25) on first position so that its position projection onto wafer forms not-exposed region of lacquer in photo-sensitive layer. There is at least one second mask (T), allocated to first mask, with semi-transparent region (23') on second position of second mask, coinciding with first position on first mask, whose image on wafer illuminates at least part of lacquer region in photo-sensitive layer. Independent claims are included for method of producing set of several masks.

    Abstract: An improvement of the imaging quality with simultaneous transfer of line-space gratings and peripheral structures including a MUX space is achieved using a quadrupole illumination whose poles are formed in elongate fashion and whose longitudinal axes are arranged perpendicular to the orientation of the lines of the line-space grating arranged on a mask. The structure imaging of the line-space grating is improved with regard to contrast, MEEF, and process window, while the geometrical fidelity of the peripheral structure, in particular of the MUX space, is stabilized over a wide depth of field range.

Preferred Features: Each mark comprises a number of markers each assigned a marker type with a predetermined defect parameter. The markers are rectangular and are formed by a quartz protrusion or quartz hole on or in the quartz layer.
