摘要:
A photomask blank which is manufactured by depositing a phase shift film on a substrate and irradiating the phase shift film with high-energy radiation to effect substrate shape adjusting treatment is inspected by measuring a surface topography of the photomask blank after the substrate shape adjusting treatment, removing the phase shift film from the photomask blank, measuring a surface topography of the treated substrate after removal of the phase shift film, and comparing the surface topographies, thereby evaluating a warpage change before and after removal of the phase shift film, due to a stress of the phase shift film having undergone substrate shape adjusting treatment.
摘要:
A phase shift mask blank is composed of a transparent substrate and a phase shift film thereon. The phase shift film is made of at least two types of layer stacked in alternation, each type having a different composition and containing at least one element selected from among metals, silicon, oxygen and nitrogen. The alternately layered film enables a high-quality phase shift mask blank having improved chemical resistance to be achieved.
摘要:
In a photomask blank comprising a light-shielding film and an antireflective film on a transparent substrate, the light-shielding film and the antireflective film are formed of a chromium base material containing oxygen, nitrogen and carbon such that the content of carbon decreases stepwise or continuously from a surface side toward the substrate. The photomask blank can be etched at a controlled rate to produce perpendicular walls. A photomask is manufactured by lithographically patterning the photomask blank. The photomask blank and photomask have uniform film properties and contribute to the microfabrication of semiconductor ICs of greater density and finer feature size.

The present invention provides a magnetron sputtering system, which ensures a formation of a desired thin film, using a thick target. In the sputtering process, a portion of the target does not have erosion free portions. The present invention provides a magnetron sputtering system comprising a chamber for sputtering, a target electrode 5 installed inside said chamber, a substrate electrode 6 installed in the chamber opposite to the target electrode, a ring-shaped magnet 2 installed so as to enclose the side surface of the target electrode, and a semi-circular disk shaped magnet installed opposite to the target-mounted surface of the target electrode, wherein the semi-circular disk shaped magnet is rotated in the circumferential direction of the target electrode and is magnetized in the direction perpendicular to the target electrode. This ensures a specific magnetic field component to be generated over the thick planar target surface 3.
摘要:
There is disclosed a method for evaluation of the safety of a chemical compound, which includes the steps of: (a) reacting a chemical compound with recombinant yeast cells expressing, or in other words producing, human cytochrome P450 molecular species P450 1A2, P450 2C9, P450 2E1 and P450 3A4 together with a yeast NADPH-P450 reductase, which may be in the form of a fused enzyme with each of said human cytochrome P450 molecular species, or with the cell free extracts of the yeast cells; and (b) analyzing the resulting metabolite to determine the safety of the compound. According to this method, it can be determined whether a test compound will be converted into a carcinogenic or mutagenic form through the metabolism in the human liver, and whether the test compound or its metabolite has mutagenicity.
摘要:
A photomask blank has at least one layer of chromium base film on a transparent substrate. The chromium base film of chromium oxycarbide (CrCO) or chromium oxynitride carbide (CrCON) is formed by a reactive sputtering technique using chromium or chromium containing O, N or C as the target and a mixture of carbon dioxide gas and an inert gas as the sputtering gas. A photomask is manufactured by lithographically patterning the photomask blank. The photomask blank and photomask are of quality featuring high uniformity within the substrate plane and ease of control during manufacture.

A phase shift mask blank has a phase shift film of MoSiOC or MoSiONC on a transparent substrate, and optionally a chromium-based light-shielding film, a chromium-based antireflection film or a multilayer combination of both on the phase shift film. A manufacture method involving depositing the MoSi base phase shift film by a reactive sputtering technique using a sputtering gas containing carbon dioxide produces a phase shift mask blank and phase shift mask of quality, with advantages of in-plane uniformity and easy control during manufacture.
