Abstract: Provided is a technique capable of improving the dimensional accuracy of a transfer pattern in a lithography technique in which EUV light is used and the EUV light is incident obliquely on a mask and an image of the EUV light reflected from the mask is formed on a semiconductor substrate (resist film), thereby transferring the pattern formed on the mask onto the semiconductor substrate. The present invention is based on a lithography technique in which EUV light is used and an exposure optical system in which the EUV light is obliquely incident on a mask is used. In this lithography technique, an absorber and a difference in level are formed on the mask, and a projective component projected on a mask surface out of a direction cosine component of the incident light is set to be almost orthogonal to an extending direction of the difference in level.

Abstract: A dimension measuring method of measuring a dimension of a pattern on a photomask. This method comprises acquiring, using an optical microscope, an image containing the pattern on the photomask, acquiring a simulated image from photomask design data corresponding to the acquired image, and comparing the image with the simulated image based on a determination condition. If the comparison result does not satisfy the determination condition, the operation of acquiring the simulated image and comparing the image acquired by the optical microscope with the simulated image is repeated after a pattern dimension included in the photomask design data is changed, until the comparison result satisfies the determination condition.

Abstract: To provide a method of manufacturing a friction member with high painting performance in which undesirable matters, which stick to the friction member before painting, are removed, and degreasing and recovery of damaged portions are carried out. In the method of manufacturing a friction member in which a friction material is attached to a metal back plate and they are painted, after the friction material is attached to the back plate, the back plate is treated before painting. The treating prior to painting process may be shot-blasting or coating with phosphate. With this treatment before painting, parting compounds that are adhered when the friction material is attached to the back plate is to be removed; dirty things and attached matters are removed; and flaws due to blasting are recovered, resulting in improved painting performance in adhesiveness.

Abstract: A friction member is made up of a back plate, a non-asbestos friction material bonded to a surface of the back plate and produced by molding and curing a non-asbestos friction material composition, and a metal phosphate conversion coating formed between the back plate and the non-asbestos friction material. When new, the friction member has a breaking load, measured according to JIS D4422, of at least 9 MPa, and a percent bonded surface area, which is the ratio of the surface area of friction material attached to the back plate surface after shear to the surface area of friction material attached to the plate surface before shear, of at least 90%. Such friction members are highly resistant to rusting, have excellent adhesion and heat resistance, and can be produced with minimal sludge formation and easy process control.
