    Abstract: A defect inspecting apparatus includes a reference image generator configured to generate a first reference image and a second reference image from design layout data. An image inspector is configured to obtain a first inspection image of a first inspection region of a photomask and a second inspection image of a second inspection region of the photomask. An operation processor is configured to extract a first coordinate offset by comparing the first inspection image with the first reference image and to extract a second coordinate offset by comparing the second inspection image with the second reference image.

    Abstract: A reflective photomask includes a pattern area, a non-pattern area at least partially surrounding the pattern area, and a black border area interposed between the pattern area and the non-pattern area. The reflective photomask includes a mask substrate, a reflector layer stacked on the mask substrate, and an absorber layer stacked on the reflector layer. The black border area includes a plurality of first anneal patterns which are arranged along an edge of the pattern area and each have an island shape, and a second anneal pattern which fills inside of the black border area and has a line shape.
