Abstract

 エッチングストッパ層の汎用性を向上したハーフトーンマスク。ハーフトーンマスク(10)は、ガラス基板(S)を利用した透過部(TA)と、ガラス基板上に形成された第1半透過層(11)を含む第1半透過部(HA)と、第1半透過層、第1半透過層より上方に積層された遮光層(13)、及び第1半透過層と遮光層との間に形成されたエッチングストッパ層(12)を含む遮光部(PA)とを備える。第1半透過層及び遮光層の各々は、Cr、あるいはCrの酸化物、窒化物、炭化物、酸化窒化物、酸化炭化物、窒化炭化物、酸化窒化炭化物からなる群から選択された少なくともいずれか一種からなる。エッチングストッパ層は、Fe、Ni、Coからなる群から選択された少なくともいずれか一種の第1元素と、Al、Si、Ti、Nb、Ta、Hf、Zrからなる群から選択された少なくともいずれか一種の第2元素とを含む。
