PURPOSE: To provide a phase shift mask having a deep focal depth with which a stable pattern of a photosensitive resin having a more perpendicular cross section of the pattern can be formed, and to provide a measuring method of phase difference by which the phase difference in a practical fine pattern can be measured even in a halftone phase shift mask.
CONSTITUTION: This phase shift mask is obtd. by partly forming a translucent film 2 on a transparent substrate 1 so that the mask has a pattern having a transparent area 3 where light transmits only through the transparent substrate 1 and a translucent area 4 where light transmits through the transparent substrate 1 and the translucent film 2. The phase difference between the light transmitting through the transparent area 3 and the light transmitting through the translucent area 4 is specified to the range of 185 ±4°. Thereby, a pattern having a perpendicular cross section can be formed as an aperture in a photosensitive resin. The phase difference may be specified to the range from 150 to 179°.
