Abstract
This invention provides a method of manufacturing mask for electron beam lithography and a mask blank for electron beam lithography, which could prevent damage upon a front side of an SOI (Silicon On Insulator) layer and also provide desirable etching of a silicon base layer of an SOI substrate is used. A mask blank for electron beam lithography is manufactured as an intermediary product by etching a silicon base layer and a BOX layer subsequent to forming a protective layer on a front side of an SOI (Silicon On Insulator) layer simultaneously with forming a hard mask on a back side of the SOI layer. Then, an etching process is performed upon the SOI layer to thereby complete a manufacture process of a mask for electron beam lithography having an aperture for transmitting an electron beam therethrough.
