Abstract

Microwave driven discharges are finding increasing use in semiconductor areas such as deposition, etching, cleaning and ashing. One application that is of particular interest is the use of microwave discharge grown thin film diamond as a x-ray mask. Because of diamonds extreme properties these masks offer potential advantages over current silicon based mask technology. A review of diamond mask technology will be presented and compared to competing technologies.
