    摘要: A blank for a halftone phase shift photomask in the present invention comprises a transparent substrate and a halftone phase shift film provided thereon, and said halftone phase shift film has a multilayer construction in which at least a first layer capable of being etched with a chlorinated gas and a second layer capable of being etched with a fluorinated gas are disposed in this order from the side near said transparent substrate. A film made of tantalum silicides is suitable to use as the second layer of the halftone phase shift film. When such a blank is first etched with a fluorinated gas and then etched with chlorinated gas, because an etching selective ratio to a transparent substrate made of synthetic quartz and the like can be taken sufficiently while maintaining the applicability to the exposure light with a short wavelength that is characteristic of silicide materials in addition to good chemical stability and good processing properties that are characteristic of tantalum materials, patterning in high precision will be made possible. As a result, it is possible to obtain an ideal halftone phase shift photomask excellent in stability after mask processing and in the applicability to the short wavelength.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an SOI substrate as a mask substrate for the charged particle beam exposure of which a silicon oxidized film has a suitable thickness for the fabrication of a mask, a silicon membrane layer has a suitable thickness as a mask membrane and is a low stress membrane having no defects and excellent uniformity and relates to its forming method. The SOI substrate is an SOI wafer which is obtained by forming an oxidized film on a first silicon wafer, forming a separation layer by hydrogen ion implantation into the first silicon wafer via the oxidized film, bonding the first silicon wafer onto a second silicon wafer, and cleaving the first silicon wafer from the second silicon wafer at the separation layer so that a silicon membrane layer is formed on the second silicon layer via the oxidized film. The method of forming the SOI wafer is characterized by comprising a step of causing epitaxial growth of silicon to form a silicon membrane layer on said silicon membrane layer simultaneously with doping either or both of boron and phosphorus.
