Abstract

An extreme ultra violet (EUV) mask is disclosed, which prevents defects from shot overlap encountered in wafer exposure as well as reflection of unnecessary EUV and DUV generated in a black border region, such that a pattern CD is reduced and defects are not created. The EUV mask includes a quartz substrate, a multi-layered reflection film formed over the quartz substrate to reflect exposure light, an absorption layer formed over the multi-layered reflection film, a black border region formed over the quartz substrate that does not include the multi-layered reflection film, and a blind layer formed in a position including at least one of over the absorption layer, over the quartz substrate, and below the quartz substrate.
