    摘要: A mask structure to be used for X-ray exposure or the like in manufacturing semiconductor devices prevents contaminants from adhering and accumulating on the surface of a mask, thereby extending the life of the mask. In this mask structure, titanium oxide films are formed on front and back pellicles that protect a mask, composed of a support film and an X-ray absorber, from dust or the like. Titanium oxide decomposes contaminants by functioning as a photocatalyst, and prevents the adhesion and accumulation of contaminants by an antistatic function based on photoconductivity. When a titanium oxide film is formed on the surface of the mask itself, it is preferable that the film be formed outside the exposure area or the like.

    摘要: The present X-ray mask comprises an X-ray transmitting film, and a mask pattern formed on the X-ray transmitting film, wherein the mask pattern includes a mixture of a high-contrast pattern and a low-contrast pattern against X-rays and wherein the high-contrast pattern is comprised of stacked films the number of which is larger than that of the low-contrast pattern and which are made of different kinds of materials. A fabrication process of this X-ray mask comprises a step of forming a first metal film; a step of forming a second metal film of a different kind of material from the first metal film, thereon; and a step of successively performing a resist application process and an etching process to form a portion where the both first and second metal films are removed, a portion where only the first metal layer is left, and a portion where the both first and second metal layers are left, thereby forming a mask pattern.

    摘要: An X-ray mask structure for X-ray lithography comprises a pattern, an X-ray transmissive film for holding the pattern, and a frame for supporting the X-ray transmissive film, wherein a light-scattering prevention film is formed on at least a part of the surface of the X-ray transmissive film and/or of the pattern, and the light scattering prevention film may be a flat coating film formed on at least one of the top face and the back face of the X-ray transmissive film and having a refractive index substantially equal to the refractive index of the X-ray transmissive film. A process for producing the X-ray mask structure comprises steps of forming a flat coating film having a refractive index substantially the same as that of the X-ray transmissive film on at least one of the top face and the back face of the X-ray transmissive film, and forming a pattern at least on the top face of the X-ray transmissive film. An X-ray exposure apparatus comprises an X-ray source, and the X-ray mask structure, and conducts transcription of the pattern formed on the x-ray mask structure onto a transcription-receiving member by projecting X-rays through the X-ray mask structure to the transcription receiving member.
