  • Patent number: 7790339
    Abstract: A photomask blank has a light-shielding film composed of a single layer of a material containing a transition metal, silicon and nitrogen or a plurality of layers that include at least one layer made of a material containing a transition metal, silicon and nitrogen, and has one or more chrome-based material film. The high transition metal content ensures electrical conductivity, preventing charge-up in the photomask production process, and also provides sufficient chemical stability to cleaning in photomask production. The light-shielding film has a good resistance to dry etching of the chrome-based material film in the presence of chlorine and oxygen, thus ensuring a high processing accuracy.

  • Patent number: 7771893
    Abstract: A light-shielding film for exposure light is formed on one principal plane of a transparent substrate made of quartz or the like that serves as a photomask substrate. The light-shielding film can serve not only as the so-called “light-shielding film” but also as an anti-reflection film. In addition, the light-shielding film has a total thickness of 100 nm or less, 70% or more of which is accounted for by the thickness of a chromium compound that has an optical density (OD) per unit thickness of 0.025 nm?1 for light having a wavelength of 450 nm. In the case where the photomask blank is used for fabricating a mask designed for ArF exposure, the thickness and composition of the light-shielding film are selected in such a manner that the OD of the light-shielding film is 1.2 to 2.3 for 193 or 248 nm wavelength light.

  • Patent number: 7625676
    Abstract: A light-shieldable film is formed on one principal plane of an optically transparent substrate, and the light-shieldable film has a first light-shieldable film and a second light-shieldable film overlying the first light-shieldable film. The first light-shieldable film is a film that is not substantially etched by fluorine-based (F-based) dry etching and is primarily composed of chromium oxide, chromium nitride, chromium oxynitride or the like. The second light-shieldable film is a film that is primarily composed of a silicon-containing compound that can be etched by F-based dry etching, such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon/transition-metal oxide, silicon/transition-metal nitride or silicon/transition-metal oxynitride.
