Title:
MASK BLANK, PHASE-SHIFT MASK, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING PHASE-SHIFT MASK, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/004350
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a mask blank that enables, without complicating the mask-manufacturing process, creation of patterns of differing transmittance with desired accuracy, and achievement of a desired phase-shift function in each pattern. This mask blank is characterized in that: a transmittance-adjusting film is provided atop a phase-shift film; the phase-shift film produces, in exposure light from an ArF excimer laser transmitting through the phase-shift film, a phase difference of 150-210 degrees from the exposure light having passed through air for a distance equivalent to the thickness of the phase shift film; and the relationships of the following formulas (1) and (2) are satisfied where the refractive index at the wavelength of the exposure light through the transmittance-adjusting film is nU, the extinction coefficient at the wavelength of the exposure light is kU, and the thickness is dU[nm]. Formula (1) dU ≤ −17.63 × nU
3 + 142.0 × nU
2 −364.9 × nU + 315.8
Formula (2) dU ≥ −2.805 × kU
3 + 19.48 × kU
2 −43.58 × kU + 38.11
