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 an absorption film that absorbs the EUV light, in this order. The protection film contains 50 at % or more of Rh. When a band-shaped gray scale image parallel to an interface between the protection film and the multilayer reflective film is obtained by imaging a cross section of the protection film with a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and a luminance profile of the gray scale image in a longitudinal direction of the gray scale image is created, a number of peaks of the luminance profile per 100 nm in the longitudinal direction of the gray scale image is 50 or more.

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 being arranged in this order.
The phase shift film contains at least one first element X1 selected from the first group consisting of ruthenium (Ru), iridium (Ir), platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), and gold (Au), and at least one second element X2 selected from the second group consisting of oxygen (O), boron (B), carbon (C), and nitrogen (N). In the phase shift film, a chemical shift of a peak of 3d5/2 or a peak of 4f7/2 of the first element X1 observed by X-ray electron spectroscopy is less than 0.3 eV.-

Abstract: A reflective mask blank includes a substrate, a multilayered reflection film configured to reflect EUV rays, a protection film configured to protect the multilayered reflection film, and an absorption film configured to absorb the EUV rays in this order. The protection film contains Rh as a main component. The multilayered reflection film includes an uppermost layer that is closest to the protection film in the multilayered reflection film and contains Si and N. In the uppermost layer, an element ratio (N/Si) of N to Si is greater than 0.00 and less than 1.50, and an element ratio (O/Si) of O to Si is 0.00 or greater and less than 0.44.
