摘要:
Provided are a reflective mask blank and a reflective mask which are capable of improving the contrast for inspection light having a wavelength of 200 nm or less in an inspection, capable of improving the contrast for exposure light in use of the mask, and capable of forming a high-resolution fine pattern. A reflective mask blank 10 includes a substrate 1, and a multilayer reflective film 2 adapted to reflect exposure light, a protective film 6 composed mainly of ruthenium (Ru) or its compound on the multilayer reflective film 2, and an absorber film 4 adapted to absorb the exposure light, which are formed in this order on the substrate. The absorber film 4 has a laminated structure including an uppermost layer 4b and a lower layer 4a. The uppermost layer 4b is formed of a material composed mainly of a nitride, an oxide, an oxynitride, a carbide, a carbonitride, or an oxycarbonitride of at least one or more elements selected from Si and Cr. A reflective mask 20 is obtained by forming a transfer pattern in the absorber film of the reflective mask blank.
摘要:
A reflective mask blank comprises a multilayer reflective film for reflecting exposure light and formed on a substrate, a protective film for protecting the multilayer reflective film and formed above the multilayer reflective film, an absorber film for absorbing the exposure light and formed on the protective film, and a thermal diffusion-preventing film formed between the multilayer reflective film and the protective film. The protective film is made of ruthenium or a ruthenium compound containing ruthenium and at least one selected from the group consisting of molybdenum, niobium, zirconium, yttrium, boron, titanium, and lanthanum. The thermal diffusion-preventing film is made of a material having a refractive index of greater than 0.90 and an extinction coefficient of less than −0.020. A reflective mask comprises the reflective mask blank wherein the absorber film is formed with a pattern to be transferred to a transfer body.

Disclosed is a reflective mask blank (10) which comprises a substrate (1), a multilayer reflective film (2) for reflecting exposure light, a buffer film (3), and an absorber film (4) for absorbing exposure light, said films being sequentially formed on the substrate. The absorber film (4) has a multilayer structure which is composed of an uppermost layer (4b) and a lower layer (4a). The uppermost layer is formed from a material containing oxide, oxynitride or carbide of Ta, and has a refractive index (n) of 0.95-0.97 and an extinction coefficient (k) of from −0.033 to −0.023. The lower layer is formed from a material containing Ta, and has a refractive index (n) of 0.94-0.97 and an extinction coefficient (k) of from −0.050 to −0.036. A reflective mask (20) can be obtained by forming a transfer pattern on the absorber film of the reflective mask blank.
摘要:
A reflective mask blank and a reflective mask each have, on a multilayer reflective film, a protective film that protects the multilayer reflective film from etching during pattern formation of an absorber layer or a buffer layer formed on the protective film. The protective film is formed by a ruthenium compound containing ruthenium (Ru) and at least one selected from the group consisting of molybdenum (Mo), niobium (Nb), zirconium (Zr), yttrium (Y), boron (B), titanium (Ti), and lanthanum (La). A reflection enhancement film of Ru may be further formed on the surface of the protective film.

A reflective mask blank has a substrate (11) on which a reflective layer (12) for reflecting exposure light in a short-wavelength region including an extreme ultraviolet region and an absorber layer (16) for absorbing the exposure light are successively formed. The absorber layer (16) has an at least two-layer structure including as a lower layer an exposure light absorbing layer (14) formed by an absorber for the exposure light in the short-wavelength region including the extreme ultraviolet region and as an upper layer a low-reflectivity layer (15) formed by an absorber for inspection light used in inspection of a mask pattern. The upper layer is made of a material containing tantalum (Ta), boron (B), and nitrogen (N). The content of B is 5 at % to 30 at %. The ratio of Ta and N (Ta:N) falls within a range of 8:1 to 2:7. Alternatively, the reflective mask blank has a substrate on which a multilayer reflective film and an absorber layer are successively formed. In this case, the absorber layer is made of a material containing tantalum (Ta), boron (B), and nitrogen (N). The content of B is 5 at % to 25 at %. The ratio of Ta and N (Ta:N) falls within a range of 8:1 to 2:7.
