  • Publication number: 20240094622
    Abstract: A reflective mask blank includes a substrate; a multilayer reflective film that reflects EUV light; a protection film that protects the multilayer reflective film; and a phase shift film that shifts a phase of the EUV light. The phase shift film contains Ir as a main component. A ratio of a maximum value of an intensity of a peak of diffracted light from the phase shift film in a 2? range of 35° to 45° to an average value of an intensity of the diffracted light in a 2? range of 55° to 60° measured using an XRD method with a CuK? ray, upon being irradiated with the EUV light with an incident angle of ?, is 1.0 or more and 30 or less. A refractive index and an extinction coefficient of the phase shift film to the EUV light are 0.925 or less, and 0.030 or more, respectively.
