Abstract
A 50 nm line x-ray mask was fabricated by using a sidewall process. Th e gold film which was taken as an absorber was deposited by ion-beam s puttering onto the very vertical sidewall surfaces of a polyimide grat ing. It was demonstrated that the smoothness and the small sidewall an gle play an important role in the fabrication of the higher resolution x-ray mask using sidewall methods.
