Abstract: A reflective mask blank comprises a substrate; a multilayer reflective film which is formed on the substrate and reflects EUV light; and a layered film which is formed on the multilayer reflective film. The layered film has an absolute reflectance of 2.5% or less with respect to EUV light, and comprises a first layer and a second layer that is formed on the first layer; and the first layer comprises a phase shift film which shifts the phase of EUV light. Alternatively, the layered film is a phase shift film which comprises a first layer and a second layer that is formed on the first layer, and which shifts the phase of EUV light; and the first layer comprises an absorption layer that has an absolute reflectance of 2.5% or less with respect to EUV light.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a reflective mask blank comprising a multilayer reflective film formed on a substrate so as to reflect EUV light; and a laminated film formed on the multilayer reflective film. The method includes the steps of depositing the multilayer reflective film on the substrate to form a multilayer reflective film formed substrate; carrying out defect inspection for the multilayer reflective film formed substrate; depositing the laminated film on the multilayer reflective film of the multilayer reflective film formed substrate; forming a fiducial mark for an upper portion of the laminated film to thereby form a reflective mask blank comprising the fiducial mark, the fiducial mark serving as a reference for a defect position in defect information; and carrying out defect inspection of the reflective mask blank by using the fiducial mark as a reference.

Abstract: Provided are a reflective mask blank, having a phase shift film having little dependence of phase difference and reflectance on film thickness, and a reflective mask. The reflective mask blank is characterized in that the phase shift film is composed of a material comprised of an alloy having two or more types of metal so that reflectance of the surface of the phase shift film is more than 3% to not more than 20% and so as to have a phase difference of 170 degrees to 190 degrees, and when a group of metal elements that satisfies the refractive index n and the extinction coefficient k of k>α*n+β is defined as Group A and a group of metal elements that satisfies the refractive index n and the extinction coefficient k of k

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to obtain a reflective mask blank capable of obtaining high contrast at the edges of a phase shift film pattern. Provided is a reflective mask blank comprising a multilayer reflective film and a phase shift film that shifts the phase of EUV light formed in that order on a substrate, wherein root mean square roughness (Rms), obtained by measuring a 1 μm×1 μm region on the surface of the phase shift film with an atomic force microscope, is not more than 0.50 nm, and power spectrum density at a spatial frequency of 10 to 100 μm−1 is not more than 17 nm4.

Abstract: Provided is a reflective mask blank that can reduce the shadowing effect of a reflective mask and form a fine and high-precision absorbent body pattern.
The reflective mask blank comprises a substrate, a multi-layer reflective film disposed on the substrate, and an absorbent body film disposed on the multi-layer reflective film, and is characterized in that: the absorbent body film includes, in at least a part thereof, at least one element with a high absorption coefficient, chosen from the group consisting of cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni), and an element that increases the speed of dry etching; the absorbent body film includes a lower-surface region that includes a surface on the substrate side and an upper-surface region that includes a surface on the side opposite the substrate; and the concentration (atomic percentage) of the element with the high absorption coefficient in the upper-surface region is greater than the concentration (atomic percentage) of the element with the high absorption coefficient in the lower-surface region.-
