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.

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.-

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a reflective mask blank includes: forming a multilayer reflective film, which is configured to reflect EUV light, on a substrate to form a substrate with a multilayer reflective film; subjecting the substrate with a multilayer reflective film to defect inspection; forming an absorber film, which is configured to absorb the EUV light, on the multilayer reflective film of the substrate with a multilayer reflective film; forming a reflective mask blank, in which an alignment region is formed in an outer peripheral edge region of a pattern formation region by removing the absorber film so that the multilayer reflective film of an area including an element serving as a reference of defect information on the multilayer reflective film is exposed in the alignment region; and performing defect management of the reflective mask blank through use of the alignment region.
