    摘要: Disclosed is a method of inspecting a defect present at a surface portion of a photomask blank which includes an optical film, and a thin film. The method includes: selecting and designating an inspection treatment procedure and a criterion for determination of rugged shape of the defect which correspond to modes of the optical film and the thin film of the photomask blank; applying inspection light to a region including the defect while maintaining a distance between the defect and an objective lens of an inspecting optical system, based on the designated inspection treatment procedure, and collecting reflected light from the region irradiated with the inspection light, as a magnified image of the region, through the inspecting optical system; and determining the rugged shape of the defect, from light intensity distribution of the magnified image, based on the designated criterion for determination.

    摘要: The present invention provides a halftone mask comprising an assist pattern and a manufacturing method of the halftone mask, which uses an ArF excimer laser as an exposing source, is used for a projection exposure by an off axis illumination, does not resolve the assist pattern while keeping the focal depth magnification effect as the assist pattern, and may form a transferred image having high contrast of a main pattern. A photomask is a photomask comprising the main pattern which is transferred to a transfer-target surface by the projection exposure and the assist pattern which is formed nearby the main pattern and not transferred, characterized in that the main pattern and the assist pattern are each constituted from a semi-transparent film made of the same material, a retardation of 180° is generated between the light transmitting through the main pattern and the light transmitting through a transparent region of a transparent substrate, and a predetermined retardation within the scope of 70° to 115° is generated between the light transmitting through the assist pattern and the light transmitting through the transparent region of the transparent substrate.
