    摘要: PURPOSE: To provide the phase shift mask which can be produced while the generation of microdefects is suppressed with relatively simple stages and with which pattern transfer with a high resolution is possible and the phase shift mask blank which is the blank material thereof.CONSTITUTION: The mask patterns to be formed on a transparent substrate 1 of this phase shift mask are composed of light transparent parts 4 which allow the transmission of light of the intensity substantially contributing to exposing and light translucent parts 2 which allow the transmission of the light of the intensity substantially contributing to exposing. The phase shift mask is so formed that the phase of the light past the light translucent parts 2 and the phase of the light past the light transparent parts 4 are varied by shifting the phase of the light passing the light translucent parts 2, by which the light rays passing near the boundary parts of the light transparent parts 4 and the light translucent parts 2 are negated with each other and the contrast in the boundary parts is well maintained. The light translucent parts 2 are composed of thin films consisting of materials consisting of oxygen, molybdenum and silicide as main constituting elements.

    摘要: An internal defect or the like of a transfer mask is detected using transmitted light quantity distribution data of an inspection apparatus. Using a die-to-die comparison inspection method, inspection light is irradiated to a first region of a thin film to obtain a first transmitted light quantity distribution, the inspection light is also irradiated to a second region of the thin film to obtain a second transmitted light quantity distribution, a predetermined-range difference distribution is produced by plotting coordinates at which difference light quantity values calculated from a comparison between the first transmitted light quantity distribution and the second transmitted light quantity distribution are each not less than a first threshold value and less than a second threshold value, and a selection is made of a transfer mask in which a region with high density of plotting is not detected in the predetermined-range difference distribution.
