This is a cross-sectional view of a mask substrate on which BN (membrane) is formed on a Pyrex ring 5. The formation method is to deposit BNI (film thickness of about 5 μm) on a silicon substrate by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and apply BN only to one side. After the silicon substrate remains, a Pyrex ring 5 is attached to the opposite surface of the silicon substrate, and finally the silicon substrate is etched away, leaving only the frame-shaped silicon support frame 4.

。Next, as shown in FIG. 5 (bl), an ITO film 2 is deposited on the entire surface of the mask substrate by sputtering. This ITO film 2 needs to transmit X-rays and light rays, and the transmission of light rays depends on the alignment (position). This is because light rays are used for alignment.

力も高い圧縮応力であり好ましくない。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, in the above-mentioned formation process, when a gold pattern is applied by plating using the ITO film 2 as an electrode, the electrical conductivity of the ITO film is not stable, so it is not uniform. The drawback is that the gold pattern cannot be formed to a certain thickness. Moreover, the stress is also high compressive stress, which is not preferable.

Good controllability (difficult to deposit, especially alignment using light).
