    摘要: A reflective mask blank has a substrate (11) on which a reflective layer (12) for reflecting exposure light in a short-wavelength region including an extreme ultraviolet region and an absorber layer (16) for absorbing the exposure light are successively formed. The absorber layer (16) has an at least two-layer structure including as a lower layer an exposure light absorbing layer (14) formed by an absorber for the exposure light in the short-wavelength region including the extreme ultraviolet region and as an upper layer a low-reflectivity layer (15) formed by an absorber for inspection light used in inspection of a mask pattern. The upper layer is made of a material containing tantalum (Ta), boron (B), and nitrogen (N). The content of B is 5 at % to 30 at %. The ratio of Ta and N (Ta:N) falls within a range of 8:1 to 2:7. Alternatively, the reflective mask blank has a substrate on which a multilayer reflective film and an absorber layer are successively formed. In this case, the absorber layer is made of a material containing tantalum (Ta), boron (B), and nitrogen (N). The content of B is 5 at % to 25 at %. The ratio of Ta and N (Ta:N) falls within a range of 8:1 to 2:7.

    摘要: A mask blank includes a substrate and a thin film formed thereon and used to form a pattern. The mask blank is adapted to be subjected to dry etching corresponding to a method of producing an exposure mask by patterning the thin film by dry etching using an etching gas substantially free from oxygen with a resist pattern formed on the thin film used as a mask. The thin film has a protective layer formed at least at its upper layer and containing 60 atomic % or more oxygen. For example, the dry etching is performed by the use of a chlorine-based gas substantially free from oxygen.
