摘要: A reflective mask blank includes a substrate; a multilayer reflective film that reflects EUV light; a protection film that protects the multilayer reflective film; and an absorption film that absorbs the EUV light, in this order. The protection film contains 50 at % or more of Rh. When a band-shaped gray scale image parallel to an interface between the protection film and the multilayer reflective film is obtained by imaging a cross section of the protection film with a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and a luminance profile of the gray scale image in a longitudinal direction of the gray scale image is created, a number of peaks of the luminance profile per 100 nm in the longitudinal direction of the gray scale image is 50 or more.

摘要: A mask includes a reflective layer, an absorption layer and an absorption part. The absorption layer is disposed over the reflective multilayer. The absorption part is disposed in the reflective layer and the absorption layer, wherein an entire top surface of the absorption part is substantially flush with a top surface of the absorption layer.

摘要: Fabricating a photomask includes forming a protection layer over a substrate. A plurality of multilayers of reflecting films are formed over the protection layer. A capping layer is formed over the plurality of multilayers. An absorption layer is formed over capping layer. A first photoresist layer is formed over portions of absorption layer. Portions of the first photoresist layer and absorption layer are patterned, forming first openings in absorption layer. The first openings expose portions of the capping layer. Remaining portions of first photoresist layer are removed and a second photoresist layer is formed over portions of absorption layer. The second photoresist layer covers at least the first openings. Portions of the absorption layer and capping layer and plurality of multilayer of reflecting films not covered by the second photoresist layer are patterned, forming second openings. The second openings expose portions of protection layer and second photoresist layer is removed.

摘要: A lithography mask includes a substrate that contains a low thermal expansion material (LTEM). The lithography mask also includes a reflective structure disposed over the substrate. The reflective structure includes a first layer and a second layer disposed over the first layer. At least the second layer is porous. The mask is formed by forming a multilayer reflective structure over the LTEM substrate, including forming a plurality of repeating film pairs, where each film pair includes a first layer and a porous second layer. A capping layer is formed over the multilayer reflective structure. An absorber layer is formed over the capping layer.

摘要: A method for manufacturing a reticle is provided. The method includes forming a first reflective multilayer over a mask substrate. The method also includes forming a capping layer over the first reflective ML. The method further includes depositing a first absorption layer over the capping layer. In addition, the method includes depositing an etch stop layer over the first absorption layer. The method also includes forming a second reflective multilayer (ML) over the etch stop layer. The method further includes forming a second absorption layer over the second reflective ML. In addition, the method includes forming an opening through the second absorption layer and the second reflective ML until the etch stop layer is exposed. The method also includes etching the etch stop layer and the first absorption layer through the opening until the capping layer is exposed.

摘要: A mask blank includes a glass substrate including a first main surface and a second main surface, an absorbing film formed above the first main surface, and a conductive film formed on the second main surface. A reflective film is provided between the absorbing film and the glass substrate. In a surface of the conductive film on an opposite side to the glass substrate, when a surface shape of a square central area having a length of 142 mm and a width of 142 mm excluding a four-sided frame-shaped peripheral area thereof is expressed by the specific formula, flatness of a component obtained by summing all aklPk(x)Pl(y) with the sum of k and l being 3 or more and 25 or less is 20 nm or less.
