A method for preparing a graphite nanofiber is herein provided, which comprises a raw gases are supplied on the surface of a substrate provided thereon with a catalyst layer for the growth of graphite nanofibers according to the CVD technique, wherein the method is characterized by forming a catalyst layer having a desired thickness and then forming, on the catalyst layer of the substrate, a graphite nanofiber whose overall thickness is controlled and which comprises a graphite nanofiber layer and a non-fibrous layer. The resulting graphite nanofibers can be used in an emitter or a field emission display element. The thickness of the catalyst layer formed on a substrate is controlled by the method and this in turn permits the control of the thickness of the non-fibrous layer formed on the catalyst layer and the control of the thickness of the graphite nanofibers likewise formed on the catalyst layer.

A method for manufacturing a gray-tone mask that decreases the wavelength dependency with respect to an exposure wavelength under stable and simple film formation conditions. A reactive sputtering method that sputters a pure Cr target in an atmosphere of Ar and NO is used to form a Cr nitride film having a single-layer structure. Based on a plurality of different spectral transmittance curves obtained under a plurality of film formation conditions having different NO concentrations, a target concentration (intermediate value) for NO is obtained that sets the transmittance uniformity of the semi-transparent film to 1.0% or less in the range of 365 nm to 436 nm or 4.0% or less in the range of 300 nm to 500 nm. Then, a semi-transparent film is formed by using the NO target concentration.

A dry-etching method comprises the step of dry-etching a metal thin film as a chromium-containing half-tone phase-shift film, wherein the method is characterized by using, as an etching gas, a mixed gas including (a) a reactive ion etching gas, which contains an oxygen-containing gas and a halogen-containing gas, and (b) a reducing gas added to the gas component (a), in the process for dry-etching the metal thin film. The dry-etching method permits the production of a half-tone phase-shift photomask by forming patterns to be transferred to a wafer on a photomask blank for a chromium-containing half-tone phase-shift mask. The photomask can in turn be used for manufacturing semiconductor circuits. The method permits the decrease of the dimensional difference due to the coexistence of coarse and dense patterns in a plane and the production of a high precision pattern-etched product.
