    摘要: Provided are a reflective mask blank and a reflective mask that can improve the contrast for EUV exposure light in use of the mask and further can improve the pattern resolution at a pattern edge portion of the mask, thereby enabling high-resolution pattern transfer. A reflective mask blank of this invention has a substrate and, further, a multilayer reflective film adapted to reflect the EUV exposure light and an absorber film adapted to absorb the EUV exposure light, which are formed in this order over the substrate. The absorber film is made of a material containing Ta and has a film density of 6.0 to 16.0 g/cm3. A reflective mask is obtained by forming a transfer pattern in the absorber film of the reflective mask blank.

    摘要: A reflective mask blank has a substrate, a multilayer reflective film formed on the substrate to reflect exposure light, a protective film formed on the multilayer reflective film, and an absorber film formed on the protective film to absorb the exposure light. The protective film is made of an Ru compound containing Ru and X (X being at least one kind of material selected from Nb and Zr). The protective film has an oxidized surface layer containing X as a main component. A reflective mask is obtained by forming a transfer pattern by patterning the absorber film of the reflective mask blank.

    摘要: 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.
