In an EUV reflection mask which is set up for region-by-region exposure of a radiation-sensitive layer lying on a semiconductor wafer by means of radiation in the spectral region of extreme ultraviolet radiation, which radiation is reflected at the mask, patterns are written directly into a multilayer layer, lying on a substrate, by means of a focused laser beam or by ion implantation, the reflectivity of which patterns is reduced by more than 90% compared with the reflectivity of the regions that are not written to, and which patterns form the radiation-absorbing regions of the mask. This avoids the shadowing of the exposure radiation that is incident at a small angle, said shadowing occurring with the use of the EUV reflection masks that have been customary heretofore.
