Abstract:
In a mask blank for manufacturing a transfer mask adapted to exposure light having a wavelength of 200 nm or less, the mask blank has a light-shielding film on a transparent substrate. The light-shielding film is made of a material containing tantalum as a main metal component and includes a highly oxidized layer which has an oxygen content of 60 at % or more and which is formed as a surface layer of the light-shielding film, that is placed on a side opposite to a transparent substrate side.
