An exemplary method of forming an attenuating extreme ultraviolet phase-shifting mask is described. The substrate includes a frame formed of a first material and a body formed of a second material such that the body substantially surrounds the frame and forms a first side and a second side of the substrate with each of the fluid ejection devices being mounted on the first side of the substrate. The database manager uses a portion of the relational database tables to store metadata such as resource types and corresponding resource attribute information. A stiffening layer is formed over the first semiconductor die and an edge portion of the encapsulant. The buffer also has a delay optimized to fix the timing condition. The present invention offers an improvement whereby the light pipe can be utilized both for transmission of visible wavelengths and for transmissionreception of invisible wavelengths.
