Abstract:
Provided is a mask blank glass substrate that has high surface smoothness, that is formed with a fiducial mark capable of improving the detection accuracy of a defect position or the like, and that enables reuse or recycling of a glass substrate included therein. An underlayer is formed on a main surface, on the side where a transfer pattern is to be formed, of a glass substrate for a mask blank. The underlayer serves to reduce surface roughness of the main surface of the glass substrate or to reduce defects of the main surface of the glass substrate. A surface of the underlayer is a precision-polished surface. A fiducial mark which provides a reference for a defect position in defect information is formed on the underlayer.
