Abstract: A metal sheet has a longitudinal direction and a width direction. The metal sheet has shapes in the width direction that are taken at different positions in the longitudinal direction of the metal sheet and differ from one another. Each of the shapes is an undulated shape including protrusions and depressions repeating in the width direction of the metal sheet. A length in the width direction of a surface of the metal sheet is a surface distance. A minimum value of surface distances at different positions in the longitudinal direction of the metal sheet is a minimum surface distance. A ratio of a difference between a surface distance and the minimum surface distance to the minimum surface distance is an elongation difference ratio in the width direction. A maximum value of elongation difference ratios is less than or equal to 2×10−5.

Abstract: The percentage of a height of each undulation with respect to a length of the undulation is a unit steepness. A steepness is an average value of unit steepnesses of all undulations in a longitudinal direction at each of different positions in a width direction of a metal sheet. The maximum value of steepnesses in a center section in the width direction is less than or equal to 0.3%. The maximum value of steepnesses in a first edge in the width direction and a maximum value of steepnesses in a second edge section in the width direction are less than or equal to 0.6%. The maximum value of steepnesses in at least one of the first edge section and the second edge section in the width direction is less than the maximum value of steepnesses in the center section in the width direction.

Abstract: The ratio of the difference between a surface distance L at each of the different positions in a width direction DW of a metal sheet and a minimum surface distance Lm to the minimum surface distance Lm is an elongation difference ratio. The elongation difference ratio in a center section in the width direction DW of the metal sheet is less than or equal to 3×10−5. The elongation difference ratios in two edge sections in the width direction DW of the metal sheet are less than or equal to 15×10−5. The elongation difference ratio in at least one of the two edge sections in the width direction DW of the metal sheet is less than the elongation difference ratio in the center section in the width direction of the metal sheet.

Abstract: A vapor deposition metal mask substrate includes a nickel-containing metal sheet including a obverse surface and a reverse surface, which is opposite to the obverse surface. At least one of the obverse surface and the reverse surface is a target surface for placing a resist layer. The target surface has a surface roughness Sa of less than or equal to 0.019 μm. The target surface has a surface roughness Sz of less than or equal to 0.308 μm.
