    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: Provided are a reflective mask blank, having a phase shift film having little dependence of phase difference and reflectance on film thickness, and a reflective mask. The reflective mask blank is characterized in that the phase shift film is composed of a material comprised of an alloy having two or more types of metal so that reflectance of the surface of the phase shift film is more than 3% to not more than 20% and so as to have a phase difference of 170 degrees to 190 degrees, and when a group of metal elements that satisfies the refractive index n and the extinction coefficient k of k>α*n+β is defined as Group A and a group of metal elements that satisfies the refractive index n and the extinction coefficient k of k

    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.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a reflective mask blank and reflective mask capable of reducing the shadowing effect of EUV lithography and forming a fine pattern. As a result, a semiconductor device can be more stably manufactured with high transfer accuracy. The reflective mask blank comprises a multilayer reflective film, an absorber film and an etching mask film on a substrate in that order, wherein the absorber film is made of a material containing nickel (Ni), and the etching mask film is made of a material containing chromium (Cr) or a material containing silicon (Si).
