  • Patent number: 9817318
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, mask manufacturing equipment includes a detector, an irradiator, a calculator, and a controller. The detector detects positional deviation of a pattern formed on a mask substrate. The irradiator irradiates the mask substrate with laser light to form a heterogeneous layer that is expanded in volume in the mask substrate. The calculator calculates an area periphery irradiation condition under which the irradiator is caused to emit laser light to a peripheral area of the pattern on the basis of the positional deviation detected by the detector so that the pattern area is reduced by forming the heterogeneous layer in the peripheral area of the pattern. The controller controls the irradiator to form the heterogeneous layer in the peripheral area of the pattern according to the area periphery irradiation condition.
