Disclosed is a blank mask including a transparent substrate and a light shielding film disposed on the transparent substrate, wherein the light shielding film includes a transition metal and at least one selected from the group consisting of oxygen and nitrogen, wherein when a surface of the light shielding film includes nine sectors formed by trisecting the surface of the light shielding film vertically and horizontally, each of the nine sectors has a Rsk value, respectively, and an average value of the Rsk values of the nine sectors is equal to −0.64 or more and less than or equal to 0, where Rsk value is a height symmetry of the surface of the light shielding film measured in accordance with ISO_4287, and wherein an average value of Rku values, which are kurtosis of the surface of the light shielding film measured in accordance with ISO_4287, of the nine sectors is 3 or less.

Blank mask and photomask using the same

A blank mask including a transparent substrate, a phase shift film disposed on the transparent substrate, and a light shielding film disposed on the phase shift film. The phase shift film has XRD maximum peak at 2θ of 15° to 30° when normal mode XRD analysis is performed on an upper surface of the phase shift film. The transparent substrate has XRD maximum peak at 2θ of 15° to 30° when performing normal mode XRD analysis on a lower surface of the transparent substrate. AI1 value of the blank mask expressed by below Equation is 0.9 to 1.1. XM1 is the maximum value of the measured X-ray intensity when the normal mode XRD analysis is performed on upper surface of the phase shift film. XQ1 is the maximum value of the measured X-ray intensity when the normal mode XRD analysis is performed on the lower surface of the transparent substrate.

The present disclosure relates to a blank mask and the like, and comprises a transparent substrate, a phase shift film disposed on the transparent substrate, and a light shielding film disposed on the phase shift film. The blank mask has a TFT1 value of 0.25 μm/100° C. or less expressed by Equation 1 below:

The present disclosure relates to a blank mask including: a transparent substrate; and

A blank mask including a transparent substrate and a light shielding film disposed on the transparent substrate, wherein the light shielding film includes a transition metal and at least one selected from the group consisting of oxygen and nitrogen, and wherein a surface of the light shielding film has a first contact angle of 40° to 45° measured by using diiodo-methane as a first liquid contacting the surface of the light shielding film, is disclosed.

The present disclosure relates to a blank mask and the like, and comprises a transparent substrate and a light shielding film disposed on the transparent substrate. The light shielding film comprises a transition metal and at least any one between oxygen and nitrogen. The light shielding film comprises a first light shielding layer and a second light shielding layer disposed on the first light shielding layer. The light shielding film has an Rd value of Equation 1 below which is 0.4 to 0.8.  [Equation 1] In the Equation 1, the ervalue is an etching rate of the first light shielding layer measured by etching with argon gas. The ervalue is an etching rate of the second light shielding layer measured by etching with argon gas. In such a blank mask, a resolution degradation can be suppressed effectively when the light shielding film is patterned.
