An Au pattern 10 functioning as X-ray absorption is formed, and a peripheral quartz frame is removed and the centeral part of the quartz substrate of the back is removed through photolithography and the etching process. Lastly, the polycrystalline silicon film 6 is removed through wet- etching, and the membrane-mask for X-ray exposure in which the polyimide film 8 coated with the TiO2-SiO2 films 7, 9 in the sandwich shape is pasted to the thick quartz frame 5 can be manufactured.

Menplan masks made of silicon and silicon nitride have weak mechanical strength, and there are limits to how thin they can be made in practical terms.
The drawback is that the mask substrate does not allow visible light to pass through, making it impossible to perform optical alignment. Furthermore, silicon and silicon nitride have a large coefficient of thermal expansion, and due to the dimensional change of the mask with respect to temperature, there has been a drawback that the overlay accuracy between mask levels over the entire surface of a wafer in semiconductor device manufacturing is poor.

In order to eliminate such conventional drawbacks, the membrane Φ mask of the present invention is characterized in that an organic compound having mechanical strength is covered in a sandwich-like manner with an inorganic compound having a small coefficient of thermal expansion. The object of the present invention is to have mechanical strength, low thermal expansion, resistance to visible light and X-rays.
The object of the present invention is to provide a menplan mask with high ray transmittance.

以下、実施例を用いて詳細に説明する。Hereinafter, a detailed explanation will be given using examples.

第1図は従来のX線露光用マスクの断面図である。FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a conventional X-ray exposure mask.

This is an X-ray exposure mask in which a silicon layer 2 doped with boron and a silicon nitride film 1 are formed on a frame of silicon 3, and an Au pattern is formed on the silicon nitride 1.

In this case, silicon nitride and boron-doped silicon have low mechanical strength, making it impossible to fabricate a large-diameter membrane mask. Furthermore, in order to achieve practical strength, the membrane mask has to have a thickness of 2 μm or more, and the visible light transmittance of the mask substrate is low, making optical alignment impossible. In addition, the temperature distribution of the mask mask becomes uneven due to KX-ray irradiation and the influence of ambient temperature, and because the membrane mask and the frame around the mask are made of silicon and silicon nitride, which have large coefficients of thermal expansion, the mask is affected by thermal expansion. As a result, the overlay accuracy between mask levels across the entire wafer surface during semiconductor device manufacturing deteriorates.

Finally, the polycrystalline silicon is removed by wet etching to produce a membrane mask for Xa exposure in which a polyide film covered in a sand inch shape is attached to a thick quartz frame according to the present invention. . Since the Menplan mask according to the present invention uses polyimide as a base, it has high mechanical strength, can be made thinner than conventional Menplan masks, has a high transmittance of visible light, and is capable of optical alignment. In addition, since the first and third layers of the Menplan mask are made of films with small coefficients of thermal expansion, and the periphery of the mask is also surrounded by thick quartz with small thermal expansion, the dimensional change of the mask with respect to temperature is small. In manufacturing small semiconductor devices, the accuracy of overlapping mask levels across the entire wafer is improved.
