    Abstract: Provided is a substrate with a thin film for manufacturing a reflective mask that at least does not adversely affect performance of the reflective mask even when a thin film of a substrate with the thin film such as a reflective mask blank comprises impurities.
    A substrate with a thin film comprises: a substrate; and at least one thin film formed on a main surface of the substrate. The thin film comprises a matrix material constituting the thin film and a small-amount material other than the matrix material. When secondary ion intensity emitted from the thin film is measured by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), a ratio (I2/I1) of secondary ion intensity (I2) of at least one of the small-amount material in the thin film to secondary ion intensity (I1) of the matrix material is more than 0 and 0.300 or less.

    Abstract: [Problem] To obtain a substrate with a multilayer reflective film capable of suppressing a decrease in reflectance of a multilayer reflective film with respect to EUV light for the substrate with a multilayer reflective film having a structure in which a protective film containing metal is disposed.
    [Solution] A substrate with a multilayer reflective film includes a substrate, a multilayer reflective film on the substrate, and a protective film on the multilayer reflective film. The protective film includes a silicon-containing layer, a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer in this order on the multilayer reflective film. The protective film contains metal and nitrogen. When a nitrogen content of the first layer is represented by N1, a nitrogen content of the second layer is represented by N2, and a nitrogen content of the third layer is represented by N3, N2 is larger than N1 and N3.
