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 are a reflective mask blank and a reflective mask that are capable of reducing the shadowing effect of EUV lithography and forming a fine pattern. As a result, a semiconductor device can be stably manufactured with high transfer accuracy. The reflective mask blank has a multilayer reflective film and a phase shift film that causes a shift in the phase of EUV light on a substrate in that order, wherein the phase shift film comprises a single layer film or multilayer film of two or more layers and is made of a material comprising tantalum (Ta) and titanium (Ti).

Abstract: A reflective mask blank comprises a substrate; a multilayer reflective film which is formed on the substrate and reflects EUV light; and a layered film which is formed on the multilayer reflective film. The layered film has an absolute reflectance of 2.5% or less with respect to EUV light, and comprises a first layer and a second layer formed on the first layer; and the first layer comprises a phase shift film which shifts the phase of EUV light. Alternatively, the layered film is a phase shift film which comprises a first layer and a second layer formed on the first layer, and which shifts the phase of EUV light; and the first layer comprises an absorption layer that has an absolute reflectance of 2.5% or less with respect to EUV light.

Abstract: A substrate with a multilayer reflective film, a reflective mask blank, a reflective mask and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device can prevent contamination of the surface of the multilayer reflective film even in the case of having formed reference marks on the multilayer reflective film. A substrate with a multilayer reflective film contains a substrate, a multilayer reflective film that reflects EUV light formed on the substrate, and a protective film formed on the multilayer reflective film. Reference marks are formed to a concave shape on the surface of the protective film. A surface layer of the reference marks contains an element that is the same as at least one of the elements contained in the protective film. A shrink region, where at least a portion of the plurality of films contained in the multilayer reflective film are shrunk, is formed at the bottom of the reference marks.
