Abstract

An X-ray absorbing film including an X-ray absorbing pattern of an X-ray mask uses .beta.-crystalline tantalum having the plane orientation of (002). The .beta.-crystalline tantalum film is formed by depositing tantalum on an amorphous layer. Because the film stress change due to heat is small, the strain of the X-ray absorbing pattern formed through a thermal treatment process is decreased. When heating the X-ray absorbing film before implanting ions into the film, the stress change of the film after implanted with ions decreases and the X-ray absorbing pattern strain also decreases.
