It is widely used industrially, especially in the field of electronics, to manufacture various products by partially modifying the surface of the material to be processed using the lithographic processing technology. It is possible to manufacture a large amount of products having the same surface alteration part. The alteration of the surface of the material to be processed is performed by irradiation with various energy rays, and in this case, a mask in which an energy ray blocking material is partially arranged is used for pattern formation. As such a mask, when the energy rays to be irradiated are visible light, a black light-shielding paint is partially applied on a transparent substrate such as glass or quartz, or visible light of a metal such as Ni or Cr is not transmitted. A thin plate or thin film having a partial property has been used.

However, as finer pattern formation is required in recent years and lithographic processing technology in a shorter time is required, X-rays and particle beams such as ion beams are used as energy beams for irradiation. It was Most of these energy rays are absorbed when they pass through a glass plate or a quartz plate used as a mask forming member as compared with the case of visible light. Therefore, when using these energy rays, it is not preferable to form the mask using a glass plate or a quartz plate. Therefore, in the lithographic processing technique used as energy rays for irradiating X-rays or particle beams, various inorganic thin films such as silicon nitride, boron nitride or silicon oxide, titanium or other thin films or various organic thin films such as polyimide, polyamide or polyester. By using these thin films such as etc., and further these laminated films as energy transmissive bodies, and partially applying a metal thin film such as gold, platinum, nickel, palladium, rhodium or indium on these surfaces as an energy absorber. , A mask is formed.
