Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for manufacturing a photo-mask, a method for transferring a pattern, an apparatus for processing a photo-mask substrate, and a method for pattering a thin film are provided to transfer a photo-mask pattern by eliminating the effect of an exposure process which is generated by unnecessary energy applied to a resist. CONSTITUTION: A thin film(2) and a resist film(3) are formed on a substrate in order to form a photo-mask blank. A transferring pattern(4) is patterned on the resist film of the photo-mask blank. A surface treatment is implemented on the surface of the resist film by contacting with an oxide. A resist pattern(3a) is formed by developing the resist film. The thin film is etched using the resist pattern as a mask.
