Conventionally, this type of photomask blank was made using a tantalum thin film (thickness: approx. 1000 mm) on a glass substrate.
It is known that a photoresist (thickness: about 5000 Å) is formed on the tantalum thin film. This blank is exposed, developed, and etched to form a predetermined resist pattern on the tantalum thin film, and then inserted into a tank of a parallel plate type or cylindrical plasma etching device, and the chamber is once evacuated. Introduce CF4 gas. Then, by applying radio waves (usually 13.56MHz), plasma is generated, and the tantalum thin film in the exposed area is etched, leaving the tantalum thin film in the resist pattern area, forming a photomask with a predetermined light-shielding pattern. I was getting .

However, this photomask has the drawback of causing electrostatic damage to the fine pattern or causing multiple reflections with the object to be transferred, reducing pattern accuracy. For this reason, although plasma etching, which has excellent microprocessability and controllability, has been introduced, photomask blanks for plasma etching have not yet been developed.

As shown in FIG.
(a), exposed and developed to 1μ
By creating a resist pattern 51 of about m (FIG. b) and performing reactive ion etching using CF 4 gas, the resist pattern 51 is etched.
The exposed germanium oxide film 4 and selenium film 3 are etched to form an anti-reflection pattern 4.

Here, in order to confirm the presence of the chromium oxide film 2, the resist pattern 51 is ashed in O 2 plasma, and reactive ion etching is performed again using CF 4 gas to remove the antireflection pattern 41.
The light-shielding pattern 31 was completely etched (d in the same figure). As a result of measuring the sheet resistance of the chromium oxide film 2 at this time, it was found that conductivity of about 200KΩ/□ was secured.
