摘要: A reflective mask blank includes a multilayer reflective film, and a pattern film to be partially etched when processing into a mask. The multilayer reflective film and the pattern film are placed on/above a substrate in this order from the substrate side. The pattern film includes an absorber film and a surface reflection enhancing film in this order from the substrate side. The relation of ((n−1)2+k2)1/2>((nABS−1)2+kABS2)1/2+0.03 is satisfied, nABS and kABS being a reflective index and an absorption coefficient of the absorber film at a wavelength of 13.53 nm, respectively, and n and k being a reflective index and an absorption coefficient of the surface reflection enhancing film at a wavelength of 13.53 nm, respectively.

摘要: A reflective mask blank for EUV lithography includes a substrate, a reflective layer for reflecting EUV light, and an absorption layer for absorbing EUV light. The reflective layer and the absorption layer are formed on or above the substrate in this order. The absorption layer contains tantalum (Ta) and niobium (Nb), and the absorption layer has a composition ratio Ta:Nb of Ta (at %) to Nb (at %) of from 4:1 to 1:4. Among diffraction peaks derived from the absorption layer observed at 2θ: from 20° to 50° by out-of-plane XRD method, a peak having the highest intensity has a half width FWHM of 1.0° or more.

摘要: A reflective mask blank includes a substrate and, on or above the substrate in order, a reflective layer for reflecting EUV light, a protective layer for protecting the reflective layer, and an absorbent layer for absorbing EUV light. The absorbent layer has a reflectance for a wavelength of 13.53 nm of from 2.5% to 10%. A film thickness d of the absorbent layer satisfies a relationship of:
