Abstract
A mask includes a transparent layer which is transparent with respect to a light which is used for an exposure, and a mask pattern layer which is formed on the transparent layer. At least a portion of the mask pattern layer is made up solely of a phase shift layer for transmitting the light, so that a phase shift occurs between a phase of the light transmitted through the phase shift layer and a phase of the light transmitted through a portion of the mask having no phase shift layer.
