A method for a lithography exposing process includes placing a reticle over a reticle stage, generating a light beam by irradiating a droplet by a laser, projecting a first portion of the light beam over a plurality of light permeable protrusions formed on a reflection layer and directing, by the protrusions and the reflection layer, the first portion of the light beam to the reticle.

Disclosed herein is a full-size mask assembly and a manufacturing method thereof. The full-size mask assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a frame having a frame opening formed therein and a support surrounding the frame opening, a structural auxiliary mask supported by the support and having a plurality of shafts in a grid shape to form a plurality of structural auxiliary mask openings, and a plurality of cell unit masks supported by the structural auxiliary mask and each of which has a deposition pattern portion through which a deposition material passes.

A photomask blank has a resist film which is obtained by coating a chemically amplified positive resist composition comprising a polymer comprising phenolic hydroxy-containing repeat units and repeat units having a carboxy group which is protected with an acid labile group in the form of a tertiary hydrocarbyl group having an electron attractive moiety and/or hydroxy-substituted phenyl moiety bonded to the tertiary carbon, and an organic solvent. The resist film is processed to form a pattern with a high resolution, reduced LER, improved rectangularity, and pattern fidelity.

An exposure mask includes a base layer including a first area and a second area spaced apart from a first area in a first direction, a first inspection transmission pattern defined in a first area of a base layer and arranged in a ring shape having at least one connection part in plan view, and a second inspection transmission pattern defined in a second area of a base layer and arranged in a polygonal shape or a circular shape in plan view.

Disclosed herein is a full-size mask assembly and a manufacturing method thereof. The full-size mask assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a frame having a frame opening formed therein and a support surrounding the frame opening, a structural auxiliary mask supported by the support and having a plurality of shafts in a grid shape to form a plurality of structural auxiliary mask openings, and a plurality of cell unit masks supported by the structural auxiliary mask and each of which has a deposition pattern portion through which a deposition material passes.

An embodiment of the present application provides a preparation method of a mask assembly, including: fixing, after stretching and aligning a blocking, the blocking on a side of a frame; opening at least one stretching align hole and at least one evaporation align mark in the fixed blocking and frame; fixing, after stretching and aligning a mask sheet, the mask sheet on a side of the blocking away from the frame according to the stretching align hole; and opening at least one evaporation align mark in the fixed mask sheet to obtain the mask assembly.
