Title:
MASK BLANK, PHASE SHIFT MASK, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING PHASE SHIFT MASK, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/037864
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
It tends to be difficult to create a phase shift film having a transmittance of 20% or more from a single layer phase shift film made of silicon nitride material; as such, provided is a mask blank including a phase shift film having a transmittance of 20% or more created from two or more sets of laminate structures, each set consisting of a low-permeability layer and a high-permeability layer disposed in order from a translucent substrate side. The mask blank includes the phase shift film disposed on the translucent substrate, the phase shift film having a function for transmitting exposure light from an ArF excimer laser at a transmittance of 20% or more. The phase shift film has two or more sets of laminate structures, each set consisting of a low-permeability layer and a high-permeability layer. The low-permeability layer is made of the silicon nitride material and the high-permeability layer is made of silicon oxide material. The thickness of the high-permeability layer provided at the uppermost level is greater than the thickness of a high-permeability layer provided at a level excluding the upper most level. The thickness of the low-permeability layer is greater than the thickness of a high-permeability layer provided at a level excluding the uppermost level.
