Abstract: A reflective mask blank includes a substrate; a multilayer reflective film that reflects EUV light; and a phase shift film that shifts a phase of the EUV light, in this order. The phase shift film contains a compound containing ruthenium (Ru) and an element X2 different from Ru. A melting point MP1 of an oxide of the compound and a melting point MP2 of a fluoride or an oxyfluoride of the compound satisfy a relation of
0.625 MP1+MP2≤1000.-

Abstract: A reflective mask blank includes a substrate; a multilayer reflective film that reflects EUV light; a protection film that protects the multilayer reflective film; and a phase shift film that shifts a phase of the EUV light. The substrate, the multilayer reflective film, the protection film, and the phase shift film are arranged in this order. The phase shift film is made of an Ir-based material containing Ir as a main component, and the protection film is made of a Rh-based material containing Rh as a main component.

Abstract: A reflective mask blank includes a substrate; a multilayer reflective film that reflects EUV light; a phase shift film that shifts a phase of the EUV light, in this order. An opening pattern is to be formed in the phase shift film. The phase shift film has a refractive index of 0.920 or less with respect to the EUV light, an extinction coefficient of 0.024 or more with respect to the EUV light, a thickness of 50 nm or less, a normalized image log slope of 2.9 or more for a transferred image when a line-and-space pattern is formed on a target substrate, and a tolerance range of a focal depth of the transferred image is 60 nm or less.

Abstract: A reflective mask blank for EUV lithography includes a substrate; a multilayer reflective film that reflects EUV light; a protection film that protects the multilayer reflective film; and an absorption film that absorbs the EUV light. The substrate, the multilayer reflective film, the protection film, and the absorption film are arranged in this order from bottom to top. The protection film includes an upper layer made of a rhodium-based material containing Rh as a main component that contains only Rh, or contains Rh and at least one element selected from a group consisting of N, O, C, B, Ru, Nb, Mo, Ta, Ir, Pd, Zr, and Ti; and a lower layer satisfying a condition
