Embodiment approach 1

[0084] Embodiment 1 will describe a phase shift mask blank.

[0085] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram showing the film configuration of the phase shift mask blank 10 .

[0086] figure 1 The illustrated phase shift mask blank 10 has a transparent substrate 20 , a phase shift film 30 formed on the transparent substrate 20 , and a light shielding film 40 formed on the phase shift film 30 .

[0087] The transparent substrate 20 is transparent to exposure light. The transparent substrate 20 has a transmittance to exposure light of 85% or higher, preferably 90% or higher, when there is no surface reflection loss. The transparent substrate 20 is made of a material containing silicon and oxygen, and can be made of synthetic quartz glass, quartz glass, aluminosilicate glass, soda lime glass, low thermal expansion glass (SiO 2 -TiO 2 Glass, etc.) and other glass materials. When the transparent substrate 20 is made of low thermal expansion glass, it is possible to suppress the po...

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a phase shift mask blank, a method for manufacturing a phase shift mask using the same, and a pattern transfer method. Background technique [0002] In recent years, along with the high resolution and high definition of display devices such as FPD (Flat Panel Display), there is a demand for a phase shift mask for display device manufacturing in which a fine pattern is formed. [0003] Conventional common phase shift mask blanks for manufacturing phase shift masks for display device manufacturing are formed on a mask substrate made of synthetic quartz glass (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a synthetic quartz glass substrate). A phase shift film, and then a light-shielding film is formed on the phase shift film. When the phase shift film is made of MoSiN, the transmittance to i-line used as exposure light is about 5%, and the reflectance to light incident from the mask substrate side is 11%.
