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
0.625MP1+MP2≤1000.-

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

Abstract: A reflective mask blank for EUV lithography includes: a substrate; a multilayer reflective film for reflecting EUV light; and a phase shift film for shifting a phase of EUV light, the multilayer reflective film and the phase shift film formed on or above the substrate in this order. The phase shift film includes a layer 1 including ruthenium (Ru) and at least one selected from the group consisting of oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N). Among diffraction peaks derived from the phase shift film observed at 2θ: from 20° to 50° by out-of-plane XRD method, a peak having the highest intensity has a half value width FWHM of 1.0° or more.

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 being arranged in this order. The phase shift film contains at least one first element X1 selected from the first group consisting of ruthenium (Ru), iridium (Ir), platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), and gold (Au), and at least one second element X2 selected from the second group consisting of oxygen (O), boron (B), carbon (C), and nitrogen (N). In the phase shift film, a chemical shift of a peak of 3d5/2 or a peak of 4f7/2 of the first element X1 observed by X-ray electron spectroscopy is less than 0.3 eV.
