    摘要: An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an upper electrode including a flat upper surface; a lower surface facing the upper surface; and a thickness from the upper surface to the lower surface, wherein the lower surface includes a first profile corresponding to the central area of the lower surface and having a first thickness change rate of −0.1 to 0; a third profile surrounding the first profile and having a third thickness change rate of −0.115 to −0.122; and a fifth profile surrounding the third profile and having a fifth thickness change rate of −0.003 to 0.003, wherein the first thickness change rate, the third thickness change rate, and the fifth thickness change rate are values obtained by dividing a change in thickness by a change in radius along a horizontal direction parallel to the upper surface from a center of the lower surface.

    摘要: A conditioning device includes: an ejector for ejecting steam to a rotating polishing pad; and an ejector support supporting the ejector. The ejector includes a plurality of nozzles for ejecting the steam to the polishing pad and a nozzle heater for heating the plurality of nozzles. The nozzle heater is configured to heat nozzles disposed to correspond to a peripheral region of the polishing pad, among the plurality of nozzles, to a higher temperature than nozzles disposed to correspond to a central region of the polishing pad among the plurality of nozzles.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a blank mask, the method including: forming a light-shielding film on a light-transmissive substrate; and cleaning the light-shielding film with a cleaning solution, wherein in the cleaning, the light-shielding film has a thickness change of less than 5 nm. The blank mask may include a light-transmissive substrate and a light-shielding film disposed on the light-transmissive substrate. Further, on an entire surface of the blank mask, a content of halogen ions is less than 0.05 ng/cm2, a content of nitrogen-based ions is less than 2 ng/cm2, and a content of sulfur-based ions is less than 0.1 ng/cm2. The blank mask may be a photomask.

    摘要: A blank mask includes a light transmissive substrate and a multilayer comprising a light shielding layer and a phase shift layer disposed between the light transmissive substrate and the light shielding layer. The phase shift layer includes an upper surface facing the light shielding layer and a side surface connected to the upper surface, such that the light shielding layer is disposed on the upper surface and the side surface of the phase shift layer. When viewed from a top surface of the multilayer, the multilayer includes a central portion and an outer portion surrounding the central portion. The outer portion has a curved upper surface, which greatly suppresses damage to the phase shift layer by a cleaning solution and effectively reduces a frequency of particle generation at edges of the phase shift layer and the light shielding layer.
