Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2865813A1] The mask has a substrate (ST) whose one side is integrated to a reflecting structure (SMR), and including a desired pattern (MF) on its front side. A transparent protecting unit (SP) maintains disruptive particles (PP) at a distance (H) of the pattern i.e. greater or equal to one of two values taken from the depth of focus of a lithography device and the height associated to a part allowed for photons absorption by the particles.
