This invention relates to electrically programmable photolithography masks and to structures fabricated by such masks. An electrically programmable photolithography mask with memory to retain a programmed pattern after programming, the mask comprising: a single, photolithographic mask plate to provide a mechanical support for said mask; an array of pixels each pixel comprising an electrically programmable solid-state electro-opaque structure fabricated on said mask plate; a plurality of row electrodes; a plurality of column electrodes; said row and column electrodes defining said pixels and being configured for addressing individual said electro-opaque pixels for programming said mask to define a pattern of optical modulation by the mask; and a thin film protective covering layer over at least said array of electro-opaque pixels. |
