Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for manufacturing a multi gray scale photo mask and a method for manufacturing a semiconductor transistor are provided to suppress a dark defect by preventing the de-lamination of a resist pattern. CONSTITUTION: A semi-transmitting layer(102) and a shielding layer(103) are successively formed on a transmitting substrate(101). A mask blank with a first resist layer is formed on the uppermost layer. A pattern is drawn and developed on the first resist layer. A transmitting unit(111) is formed with the first resist pattern and the shielding layer pattern. A second resist layer is formed to cover the substrate by removing the first resist pattern. A pattern is drawn and developed on the second resist layer and a second resist pattern is formed. A semi-transmitting unit(112) and a shielding unit(113) are formed.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress a resist pattern from peeling and to suppress generation of black defects. SOLUTION: A method for manufacturing a multilevel grayscale photomask is provided, including steps of: preparing a mask blank having a semitransparent film and a light-shielding film formed in this order on a light-transmitting substrate and having a first resist film formed on the outermost layer; forming a light-shielding film pattern by etching the light-shielding film using the first resist pattern as a mask and forming a light-transmitting portion by etching the semitransparent film using the first resist pattern or the light-shielding film pattern as a mask; forming a second resist film covering the whole surface of the substrate which is obtained by removing the first resist pattern; and forming a semitransparent portion and a light-shielding portion by etching the light-shielding film pattern using the second resist pattern as a mask. In the step of forming the second resist film, prior to forming the second resist film, an exposed surface of the light-transmitting substrate appearing by the formation of the light-transmitting portion is subjected to a surface treatment with a Si-containing organic compound.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To uniformize an etching rate within a plane of a light-shielding film regardless of the figure of a transfer pattern, to improve the quality of a multi-gradation photomask, and to improve the production yield. SOLUTION: The multi-gradation photomask has a predetermined transfer pattern including a light-shielding part, a light-transmitting part and a translucent part formed on a transparent substrate, wherein the light-shielding part comprises an etching balancer film having conductivity, a translucent film and a light-shielding film layered in this order on the transparent substrate, the translucent part comprises the etching balancer film and the translucent film layered in this order on the transparent substrate, and the light-transmitting part comprises an exposed part of the transparent substrate.
