Abstract

See full text

A process for abrasive-free chemical mechanical planarization of silicon thin film coated EUV mask substrates is disclosed. The process removes bumps and pits on the substrate thereby mitigating reflective errors in the mask. The process employs a two-step polishing procedure, in which the second step is abrasive-free and uses an amine or amine salt as the polishing agent.
