    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a reflective mask blank comprising a multilayer reflective film formed on a substrate so as to reflect EUV light; and a laminated film formed on the multilayer reflective film. The method includes the steps of depositing the multilayer reflective film on the substrate to form a multilayer reflective film formed substrate; carrying out defect inspection for the multilayer reflective film formed substrate; depositing the laminated film on the multilayer reflective film of the multilayer reflective film formed substrate; forming a fiducial mark for an upper portion of the laminated film to thereby form a reflective mask blank comprising the fiducial mark, the fiducial mark serving as a reference for a defect position in defect information; and carrying out defect inspection of the reflective mask blank by using the fiducial mark as a reference.

    Abstract: Provided is a reflective mask blank for manufacturing a reflective mask capable of forming a transfer pattern of diversified fine pattern shapes formed on a transferred substrate and having a transfer pattern capable of performing EUV exposure with a high throughput
    A reflective mask blank comprises a multilayer reflective film and an absorber film in this order on a substrate. When normalization is performed with a value of an evaluation function of a film having a refractive index of 0.95 and an extinction coefficient of 0.03 as 1, the absorber film comprises a material having such a refractive index and an extinction coefficient that a value of the normalized evaluation function of the absorber film is 1.015 or more, and the evaluation function is a product of a normalized image log slope (NILS) and a threshold of light intensity for exposure of a predetermined resist to light.
