Abstract (en)

[origin: DE102005004070B3] The method involves removing a defective material (40) and an absorbing material (3) of a lithographic mask in a processing zone by a focused ion beam. The mask is subjected to a cleaning process after the removal of the defective material. An absorbing material is applied in an outer region, which is dependent on a portion of the processing zone, to form a transmitting region (1) having a desired phase difference on the mask. An independent claim is also included for a lithographic mask with a transmitting region.
