    摘要: In the manufacture of a photomask blank, a seed layer of a chromium material containing oxygen, nitrogen and/or carbon is formed on a transparent substrate before a light-shielding film and an antireflective film are deposited thereon. Any film on the seed layer builds up in accordance with fine granular growth, and so the resulting photomask blank has an improved surface roughness, which enables high-sensitivity detection in the process of defect inspection and circuit pattern inspection. By lithographically patterning the photomask blank, a photomask is fabricated.
