Abstract:
A photomask blank includes a transparent substrate and a film containing at lease two layers formed on the transparent substrate, the two layers being a first layer with a phase difference Δθ1 and a second layer with a phase difference Δθ2. The phase difference Δθ1 is a phase difference between a light transmitted through the first layer and a light transmitted through an air distance equal to a thickness of the first layer, and the phase difference Δθ2 is a phase difference between a light transmitted through the second layer and a light transmitted through an air distance equal to a thickness of the second layer. A phase difference of the film containing at least two layers is from −30° to +30°. The first layer contains a material not to be etched during etching of the transparent substrate.
