A method for improved imaging performance of a microlithography photomask is described. By providing sub resolution evanescent wave assist features in regions surrounding a main photomask feature, the coupling of the evanescent energy from these features can add to the transmission efficiency of the main feature. The photomask comprises a transparent substrate support member having at least a first and second surface, wherein said first surface is smooth and said second surface is patterned with a plurality of grooves; a film coating disposed over said plurality of groves, wherein said film coating has one or more openings.
