    摘要: Provided is a mask blank that is improved in adhesion of a thin film for forming a transfer pattern to a resist, thus capable of suppressing the occurrence of collapse, chipping, or the like of a formed resist pattern. The mask blank has, on a transparent substrate 1, a thin film 2 which is for forming a transfer pattern and is made of a material containing a metal. The thin film 2 has a surface modified layer in the form of an oxide film containing a hydrocarbon. The surface modified layer of the thin film 2 can be formed by, for example, causing a highly concentrated ozone gas and an unsaturated hydrocarbon gas to act on the thin film.

    摘要: A thin film made of a material containing a metal and silicon is formed on a light-transmissive substrate. Then, a treatment is performed to modify a main surface of the thin film in advance so that when exposure light having a wavelength of 200 nm or less is accumulatively irradiated on a thin film pattern of a photomask to be produced by patterning the thin film, the transfer characteristic of the thin film pattern does not change more than a predetermined degree. This treatment is performed by carrying out, for example, a heat treatment in an atmosphere containing oxygen at 450° C. to 900° C.

    摘要: Provided is a method of manufacturing a mask blank that is improved in cleaning resistance to ozone cleaning or the like, thus capable of preventing degradation of the mask performance due to the cleaning. The method is for manufacturing a mask blank having, on a substrate, a thin film which is formed at its surface with an antireflection layer made of a material containing a transition metal, and carries out a treatment of causing a highly concentrated ozone gas with a concentration of 50 to 100 vol % to act on the antireflection layer to thereby form a surface modified layer comprising a strong oxide film containing an oxide of the transition metal at a surface of the antireflection layer.

    摘要: The present invention is a method of manufacturing a transfer mask with use of a mask blank in which a thin film for pattern formation and a chromium-based thin film made of a material containing chromium are stacked on a transparent substrate in this order. The thin film for pattern formation is made of material containing silicon and a transition metal other than chromium. The chromium-based thin film is made of a material containing chromium. Exposure light having a wavelength of 200 nm or less is applied to the transfer mask. In the manufacturing method, the transfer mask is produced by performing, in the following order, a process of forming a resist film having a transfer pattern on the chromium-based thin film, a process of forming a transfer pattern in the chromium-based thin film with use of a mask of the resist film having the transfer pattern, a process of forming a transfer pattern in the thin film for pattern formation with use of a mask of the chromium-based thin film having the transfer pattern, and a process of removing the chromium-based thin film by etching. The manufacturing method further includes a cleaning process of at least one of alkali solution cleaning, hot water cleaning, and ozone-containing water cleaning on the produced transfer mask until a width of the transfer pattern of the thin film for pattern formation is reduced by 4 nm or a space width of the thin film for pattern formation is increased by 4 nm.
