A method of manufacturing a photomask includes determining an average value of dimensions of a pattern in a photomask. determining an in-plane uniformity of the dimensions, determining an exposure latitude on the basis of the average value and the in-plane uniformity. The exposure latitude depends on dimensional accuracy of the pattern. Judging if the photomask is defective or non-defective is made on the basis of whether or not the exposure latitude falls within a prescribed exposure latitude

A plasma processing apparatus includes a first electrode which is substantially flat and has a substrate mounting region mounted with a substrate to be treated, a chamber for containing the first electrode, gas introducing means for introducing a predetermined gas into the chamber, gas exhausting means for exhausting the gas from the chamber, a second electrode constituted of one of a metal portion of the chamber and a metal plate provided inside the chamber, power supply means for supplying high-frequency power between the first electrode and the second electrode, and an insulative cover for covering a surface of the first electrode other than the substrate mounting region. The substrate mounting region is formed as a convex portion on the first electrode, and an outside shape thereof is smaller than that of the substrate. The substrate is mounted on the substrate mounting region so as to completely cover the substrate mounting region.

摘要:
This invention discloses a photomask manufacturing method. A pattern dimensional map is generated by preparing a photomask in which a mask pattern is formed on a transparent substrate, and measuring a mask in-plane distribution of the pattern dimensions. A transmittance correction coefficient map is generated by dividing a pattern formation region into a plurality of subregions, and determining a transmittance correction coefficient for each of the plurality of subregions. The transmittance correction value of each subregion is calculated on the basis of the pattern dimensional map and the transmittance correction coefficient map. The transmittance of the transparent substrate corresponding to each subregion is changed on the basis of the transmittance correction value.
