Abstract:
A reflective mask blank includes a substrate; a multilayer reflective film that reflects EUV light; a protection film that protects the multilayer reflective film; and a phase shift film that shifts a phase of the EUV light. The substrate, the multilayer reflective film, the protection film, and the phase shift film are arranged in this order. The phase shift film is made of an Ir-based material containing Ir as a main component, and the protection film is made of a Rh-based material containing Rh as a main component.
