An alternative material has been proposed as an absorber for a mask blank for lithography in the vicinity of a wavelength of 11.2 nm - Ni. It has been established in this work that the optimal angle for efficient sputtering of Ru, Be, and Ni targets by accelerated argon ion sources for fabrication of a Ru/Be multilayer structure with an upper Ni layer is an angle of 60o degrees. At this angle, the etching rate for all three materials is 35±5 nm/min at an argon ion energy of 800 eV and an ion current density of 0.5 mA/cm2. Keywords: lithography, photomask, X-ray mirror, ion sputtering, ion etching. DOI: 10.61011/TP.2023.07.56649.115-23
