A simple, cost-effective method for forming a lithography mask with a directly imaged portion and an attenuated, phase shifted portion. In particular, the use of such a method for forming an outrigger-type phase shift mask. The mask is formed on a blank consisting of a transparent quartz substrate over which is an attenuating phase shift layer and an optically opaque layer, by a process that produces a pattern in an E-beam sensitive resist with two different E-beam energy depositions. The higher energy deposition is used to form the main pattern, while the lower energy deposition forms the pattern for the outrigger.
