摘要: A photomask blank substrate is made by polishing a starting substrate to a specific flatness in a principal surface region on a top surface of the substrate so as to form a polished intermediate product, then additionally polishing the intermediate product. Substrates made in this way exhibit a good surface flatness at the time of wafer exposure. When a photomask fabricated from a blank obtained from such a substrate is held on the mask stage of a wafer exposure system with a vacuum chuck, the substrate surface undergoes minimal warping, enabling exposure patterns of small geometry to be written onto wafers to good position and linewidth accuracies.

摘要: A photomask blank substrate is selected for use in a process where at least a masking film or a phase shift film is deposited on a top surface of a photomask blank substrate to form a photomask blank, the deposited film is patterned to form a photomask, and the photomask is mounted in an exposure tool. The substrate is selected by simulating a change in shape in the top surface of the substrate, from prior to film deposition thereon to when the photomask is mounted in the exposure tool; determining the shape of the substrate top surface prior to the change that will impart to the top surface a flat shape when the photomask is mounted in the exposure tool; and selecting, as an acceptable substrate, a substrate having this top surface shape. The selected substrate has an optimized top surface shape that improves productivity in photomask fabrication.

摘要: An aerial image of a measurement mark (PM) arranged on a measurement mask (Rm) is conformed to a center in an X-axis direction of a slit (122) arranged on a Z tilt stage (38). While illuminating the measurement mark with an illumination light (IL), a slit plate (190) on which the slit (122) is formed is continuously moved in a Z-axis direction, and based on position information of the slit (122) obtained during the movement and a photoelectric conversion signal outputted from an optical sensor (24) that receives the illumination light (IL) from the measurement mark (PM) via a projection optical system (PL) and the slit (122), a best focus position is detected. Thus, the best focus position of the projection optical system can be measured in a short period of time.

摘要: Light is irradiated on a light-shielding pattern on an object surface side of a projection optical system, and light intensity distribution of the light having passed through the projection optical system and slits is detected while slits of an aerial image measuring unit on the image plane side of the projection optical system are moved within a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the projection optical system, The information concerning the flare of the projection optical system is computed from the light intensity distribution, so that the influence of resist coated on a wafer used in a conventional exposing method can be eliminated, and highly accurate measurement of information concerning the flare can be realized. Further, measurement of information concerning the flare can be performed in a short time comparing to the exposing method because development process or the like of the wafer is not necessary.
