    摘要: A mask blank and transfer mask that overcomes problems caused by an electromagnetic field (EMF) effect when a DRAM half pitch (hp) is 32 nm or less specified in semiconductor device design specifications. The mask blank is used in manufacturing a transfer mask to which ArF exposure light is applied, and includes a light shielding film 10 having a multilayer structure. The multilayer structure includes a light shielding layer 11 and a surface anti-reflection layer 12 formed on a transparent substrate 1. An auxiliary light shielding film 20 is formed on the light shielding film 10. The light shielding film 10 has a thickness of 40 nm or less and an optical density of 2.0 or more to 2.7 or less for exposure light. The optical density is 2.8 or more for exposure light in the multilayer structure of the light shielding film 10 and the auxiliary light shielding film 20.

    摘要: A photomask blank which is capable of preventing static buildup caused by electron beam pattern drawing for forming a resist pattern. The photomask blank provides a good pattern accuracy through optimization of the dry etching rate along the depth direction of the shielding film, and is capable of reducing the dry etching time by increasing the dry etching rate of the shielding film. The photomask blank includes a translucent substrate having thereon a shielding film composed mainly of chromium and the shielding film contains hydrogen. The shielding film is formed in such a manner that the film formation rate of the layer at the surface side is lower than the film formation rate of the layer at the translucent substrate side of the shielding film. The dry etching rate of the shielding film is lower at the translucent substrate side than at the surface side.

    摘要: A mask blank is formed on a transparent substrate with a light-shielding film of a material mainly containing chromium and is used for obtaining a photomask by forming the light-shielding film into a transfer pattern by lithography using an electron beam writing resist. The mask blank includes a mask layer formed on the light-shielding film for serving as an etching mask in etching that forms the light-shielding film into the transfer pattern. The mask layer is made of a material containing silicon. The mask blank further includes a chromium nitride-based film formed on the mask layer and containing at least chromium and nitrogen.

    摘要: A thin film composed of a material containing a metal and silicon is formed on a transparent substrate, and a thin film pattern is formed by patterning the thin film. Then, the main surface and the side walls of the thin film pattern are previously modified so as to prevent the transfer characteristics of the thin film pattern from changing more than predetermined even in the case where exposure light with a wavelength of 200 nm or less is cumulatively applied onto the thin film pattern which has been formed. The main surface and the side walls are modified by, for instance, performing heat treatment to the main surface and the side walls at 450-900° C. in the atmosphere containing oxygen.
