    摘要: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing of a mask blank for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) photolithography, comprising the steps of: providing a substrate having a front surface and a back surface; depositing a film comprising tantalum nitride (TaN) on said front surface of said substrate for absorbing EUV light used during a photolithographic process; and depositing a conductive coating on said back surface of said substrate. Preferably, ion beam sputtering is used for depositing the film comprising tantalum nitride (TaN) and/or the conductive coating on the back surface of the substrate. Preferably, Xenon is used as a sputter gas for ion beam sputtering. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a mask blank for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) photolithography.
