    Abstract: This invention provides a reflective mask blank capable of preventing peeling-off of a multilayer reflective film due to cleaning or the like in a mask manufacturing process or during mask use. The reflective mask blank includes a multilayer reflective film, a protective film, an absorber film, and a resist film formed in this order on a substrate. Assuming that a distance from the center of the substrate to an outer peripheral end of the multilayer reflective film is L(ML), that a distance from the center of the substrate to an outer peripheral end of the protective film is L(Cap), that a distance from the center of the substrate to an outer peripheral end of the absorber film is L(Abs), and that a distance from the center of the substrate to an outer peripheral end of the resist film is L(Res), L(Abs)>L(Res)>L(Cap)≧L(ML) and the outer peripheral end of the resist film is located inward of an outer peripheral end of the substrate.

    Abstract: Provided is a reflective mask blank with which it is possible to further reduce the shadowing effect of a reflective mask, and also possible to form a fine and highly accurate phase-shift pattern. A reflective mask blank having, in the following order on a substrate, a multilayer reflective film and a phase-shift film that shifts the phase of EUV light, said reflective mask blank characterized in that: the phase-shift film has a first layer and a second layer; the first layer comprises a material that contains at least one element from among tantalum (Ta) and chromium (Cr); and the second layer comprises a metal-containing material that contains ruthenium (Ru) and at least one element from among chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), vanadium (V), niobium (Nb), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), and rhenium (Re).

    Abstract: A substrate with a multilayer reflective film, a reflective mask blank, a reflective mask and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device that can prevent contamination of the surface of the multilayer reflective film even in the case of having formed reference marks on the multilayer reflective film. A substrate with a multilayer reflective film contains a substrate and a multilayer reflective film that reflects EUV light formed on the substrate. Reference marks are formed to a concave shape on the surface of the substrate with the multilayer reflective film. The reference marks have grooves or protrusions roughly in the center. The shape of the grooves or protrusions when viewed from overhead is similar or roughly similar to the shape of the reference marks.

    Abstract: Provided is a reflective mask blank for manufacturing a reflective mask capable of suppressing peeling of an absorber pattern when EUV exposure is performed in an atmosphere comprising a hydrogen gas.
    A reflective mask blank comprises: a substrate; a multilayer reflective film on the substrate; and an absorber film on the multilayer reflective film. The absorber film comprises an absorption layer and a reflectance adjustment layer. The absorption layer comprises tantalum (Ta), boron (B), nitrogen (N), and at least one additive element selected from hydrogen (H) and deuterium (D). A content of the boron (B) in the absorption layer is more than 5 atomic %. A content of the additive element in the absorption layer is 0.1 atomic % or more and 30 atomic % or less.
