Summary:A method of forming an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) mask includes forming a multilayer Mo/Si stack comprising alternating stacked Mo and Si layers over a mask substrate; forming a ruthenium capping layer over the multilayer Mo/Si stack; doping the ruthenium capping layer with a halogen element, a pentavalent element, a hexavalent element or combinations thereof; forming an absorber layer over the ruthenium capping layer; and etching the absorber layer to form a pattern in the absorber layer.
