    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.
