摘要:
Disclosed is a mask blank substrate for use in lithography, wherein the main surface on which the transfer pattern of the substrate is formed has a root mean square roughness (Rms) of not more than 0.15 nm obtained by measuring an area of 1 μm×1 μm with an atomic force microscope, and has a power spectrum density of not more than 10 nm4 at a spatial frequency of not less than 1 μm−1.
摘要:
Techniques, methods, and structures disclosed in relation to extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography in semiconductor processing. In one exemplary implementation, a method may comprise using ion beam deposition to deposit a first multilayer stack of thin films on a substrate to planarize and smooth surface defects on the substrate. The method includes using atomic layer deposition to deposit a second multilayer stack of thin films on the first multilayer stack of thin films. The second multilayer stack of thin films may comprise an extreme ultraviolet reflective multilayer stack. The second multilayer stack of thin films may comprise fewer surface defects than the first multilayer stack of thin films. The method may further comprise processing an extreme ultraviolet mask blank to form an extreme ultraviolet reflective mask.

A mask blank is provided by forming a plurality of films, including at least a thin film to be a transfer pattern, on a board. At the time of patterning a resist film of the mask blank according to pattern data, film information to check with a pattern is obtained for each of a plurality of the films.

A multilayer reflective film coated substrate includes a multilayer under film comprised of Mo/Si alternately-layered films and a multilayer reflective film comprised of Mo/Si alternately-layered films for reflecting exposure light. The multilayer under film and the multilayer reflective film are formed on a substrate in this order. Given that a cycle length of the multilayer under film is d bottom (unit: nm) and a cycle length of the multilayer reflective film is d top (unit: nm), a relationship of a formula (1) is satisfied when d bottom>d top, the formula (1) given by (n+0.15)×d top≦d bottom≦(n+0.9)×d topwhere n is a natural number equal to or greater than 1.

A reflective-type mask blank for EUV lithography for reducing the EUV ray reflectance at the absorbing layer and a method for producing the mask blank are presented. A reflective-type mask blank for EUV lithography comprising a substrate and a reflective layer for reflecting EUV light and an absorbing layer for absorbing EUV light, which are formed on the substrate in this order, the reflective-type mask blank for EUV lithography being characterized in that the absorbing layer is a Cr layer of low EUV ray reflectance deposited by an ion beam sputtering method.

A reflective-type mask blank for exposure comprises a substrate (11), a reflective multilayer film (12) formed on the substrate for reflecting light, and an absorber film (14) formed on the reflective multilayer film. A protection layer (15) is formed on side surfaces of the reflective multilayer film.
