An edge enhancement phase shifting mask having a recessed opaque layer which optimally exhibits the phase shifting effect at edge portion is disclosed, wherein the mask comprises a transparent substrate having at least one or more trenches spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance, an opaque layer filling some portion of the trench, and a phase shifting layer formed on the substrate area between the trenches. And the method of manufacturing such a mask comprises the steps of forming a first photoresist pattern by etching the coated photoresist film on a transparent substrate, forming at least one or more trenches by etching the transparent substrate masked with the patterned photoresist layer, forming a opaque layer occupying some portion of the trench through etch back process applying to a deposited metal layer on the whole surface of the substrate, forming a phase shifting layer over the surface of the non-etched transparent substrate and exposing a substrate area between the phase shifting layer and the opaque layer. |
