Abstract

A photomask blank has a light transmitting substrate, a light semi-transmitting film formed on the substrate to transmit a part of exposure light, and a light shielding film formed on the light semi-transmitting film to shield the exposure light. The light semi-transmitting film and the light shielding film are patterned to produce a multi-tone photomask having a light transmitting portion for transmitting the exposure light, a light semi-transmitting portion for partly transmitting the exposure light, and a light shielding portion for shielding the exposure light. The light semi-transmitting film is a multilayer light semi-transmitting film including two or more light semi-transmitting films different in transmittance spectrum from each other with respect to the exposure light having a wavelength within a wavelength band of i-ray to g-ray. By lamination of the two or more light semi-transmitting films, the multilayer light semi-transmitting film is controlled in transmittance variation with respect to the exposure light transmitted through the multilayer light semi-transmitting film and having a wavelength within a wavelength band of i-ray to g-ray. In addition, the multilayer light semi-transmitting film is controlled in transmittance with respect to the exposure light transmitted through the multilayer light semi-transmitting film.

Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a multi-tone mask, a mask base, a pattern transfer method, and the like. [Prior Art] In recent years, in the field of large-scale FPD (Flat Panel Display) reticle, attempts have been made to use a multi-tone mask having a semi-transparent region (so-called gray tone portion) (so-called gray tone) The mask is reduced by the number of masks (for example, 'Ref. Monthly FPD Intelligence, p. 3 1-35, May 1999). Here, as shown in FIGS. 11(1) and 12(1), the multi-tone mask has a light-shielding portion 1 that shields the exposed light, and a light-transmitting portion 2 that transmits the exposed light to the light-transmitting substrate 5. And a semi-transmissive portion 3 that transmits a portion of the exposed light. The semi-transmissive portion 3 is used to obtain a region of intermediate transmittance between the light-shielding portion and the light-transmitting portion. For example, as shown in FIG. 11 (1), a semi-transmissive light having an intermediate transmittance of the light-shielding portion and the light-transmitting portion is formed. As shown in Fig. 12 (1), the region of the film 3a' is a fine light-shielding pattern 3a which is equal to or lower than the resolution limit of the large-sized FPD exposure machine which is patterned by using a multi-tone mask. And a region of the fine transmissive portion 3b (so-called gray tone pattern). The purpose of forming the semi-transmissive portion 3 is to reduce the amount of light transmitted through the exposed regions to reduce the amount of exposure of the region, and to reduce the film thickness after the development of the photoresist corresponding to the relevant region is The expected value. ^When a large multi-tone mask is mounted on a mirror projection method or a large exposure apparatus using a lens projection method with a lens, it is transmitted through a half 143513.doc 201017328

透光部3的曝光之光整體之曝光量不足,因此,對於經由 該半透光部3而曝光之正型光阻劑而言,僅是膜厚變薄, 且會殘留於基板上。亦即’因曝光量之差異,於與通常之 遮光部1相對應之部分、及與半透光部3相對應之部分,光 阻劑相對於顯影液之溶解性產生差異,因此顯影後之光阻 劑形狀如圖Η⑺及圖12⑺所示,與通常之遮光部i相對應 之部分1’例如約為1 μιη,與半透光部3相對應之部分3,例如 約為0.4〜0·5 μπι ’與透光部2相對應之部分則成為無光阻劑 之部分2’。而且’於無光阻劑之部分2·進行被加工基板之 第1蝕刻’藉由灰化等而除去與半透光部3相對應之較薄之 部分3’之光阻劑,於該部分進行第2蝕刻,藉此,利用^固 光罩而實施先前由2個光罩實施之步驟,從而削減光罩數 量。 【發明内容】Since the exposure amount of the entire light of the light-transmitting portion 3 is insufficient, the positive-type photoresist exposed through the semi-transmissive portion 3 is thinned only on the substrate and remains on the substrate. That is, 'the difference between the amount of exposure, the portion corresponding to the normal light-shielding portion 1 and the portion corresponding to the semi-transmissive portion 3, the solubility of the photoresist with respect to the developer is different, so that after development The shape of the photoresist is as shown in Fig. 7(7) and Fig. 12(7), and the portion 1' corresponding to the usual light-shielding portion i is, for example, about 1 μm, and the portion 3 corresponding to the semi-light-transmitting portion 3 is, for example, about 0.4 to 0. The portion corresponding to the light transmitting portion 2 of 5 μm is formed as a portion 2' of no photoresist. Further, in the portion 2 where no photoresist is applied, the first etching of the substrate to be processed is performed, and the thin portion 3' corresponding to the semi-transmissive portion 3 is removed by ashing or the like, in which the photoresist is removed. By performing the second etching, the steps previously performed by the two masks are performed by the fixing mask, and the number of masks is reduced. [Summary of the Invention]

然而,用以製造微處理器、半導體記憶體、系統LSI (Large Scale Integration,大型積體電路)等之半導體裝置 之LSI用光罩相對較小,最大僅為6吋見方左右,多數情況 下,其搭載於步進(單步投影曝光)方式之縮小投影曝光裝 置而使用。又’ LSI用光罩中,自藉由透鏡系統而排除色 差及藉此提高解像性之觀點考慮’使用單色之曝光之光。 與該LSI用光罩相關之單色之曝光波長之短波長化,係朝 超高壓水銀燈之g線(436 nm)及i線(365 nm)、KrF準分子雷 射(248 nm)、ArF準分子雷射(193 nm)發展。 又’用以製造LSI用光罩之小型遮罩基底需要高蝕刻精 143513.doc 201017328 度,因此,藉由乾式姓刻而使形成於遮罩基底上之薄媒圖 案化。 相對於此,FPD用大型光罩相對較大,例如為33〇 mm><450 mm至1220 mmX1400 mm,多數情況下,其搭載 於鏡面投影方式或使用有透鏡之透鏡投影方式之曝光裝置 而使用。又,當將FPD用大型光罩搭載於鏡面投影(基於掃 描曝光方式之等倍投影曝光)方式之曝光裝置而使用之情 形’(I)由於僅利用反射光學系統而經由光罩進行曝光,故 因介設有如LSI用光罩之透鏡系統而產生之色差不會成為 問題;以及(II)目前’雖擔心多色波曝光之影響(因透射光 或反射光而產生之干涉或色差之影響等),但可確保比單 色波曝光更大之曝光光強度之多色波曝光於综合生產方面 較有利,因此,利用超高壓水銀燈之i〜g線之寬頻帶而實 施多色波曝光。又,即便當將FPD用大型光罩搭載於透鏡 方式之大型曝光裝置而使用之情形,根據上述(H)所記載 之理由[仍同樣地實施多色波曝光。才复數個》皮長之曝光 (多色波曝光)處理之優點在於:與單一波長之曝光(單色波 曝光)之情形相比較’曝光光強度可更大。例如,與僅利 用i線或8線之單色波曝光相比較,當利用包含^線在内之 自i線遍及g線之波長帶之光而 大。因此,可提高裝置之生產 進行曝光時,曝光光強度較 性。又,例如’於多數情況 下FPD裝置等之大型之顯示裝置係利用等倍曝光法而製 造。與LSI裝置等之製造中所使用之縮小曝光法相比較, 等倍曝光法具有如下優點:因照射至裝置面之曝光之光的 143513.doc 201017328 入射強度較小,故而可藉由利用複數個波長而彌補照射至 裝置面之曝光之光的入射強度。 又,FPD用大型光罩之製造中,難以製作大型之乾式蝕 刻裝置,即冑已製成該大型之乾式飯刻裝1,價格亦非常 ; 高,且技術上難以實現均一之蝕刻。因此,就用以製造 FPD用大型光罩之大型遮罩基底而言’多數情況下,重視 ' 成本方面及生產量而採用使用有蝕刻液之濕式蝕刻,使形 成於遮罩基底上之薄膜圖案化。 近年來,FPD用大型多色調光罩之需求精度(規格值)變 得嚴格。與此同時,業者亦期望削減成本。 因此,本發明者等人關於FpD用大型多色調光罩基底及 光罩,就如下課題進行了檢討,該課題之目的在於,於藉 由濕式钱刻而於半透光膜及遮光膜上實施圖案化之情形, 滿足變得嚴格之需求精度(規格值)。 結果發現難以同時滿足如下三個方面,即, 馨 ()抑制半透光膜之遍及丨線〜g線之波長帶之透射率變化 量; (2) 將透過半透光膜之曝光之光的透射率調整為所期望 .之值(尤其是容易進行微調整);以及 (3) 可採用缺陷少之製程。 以下’對於上述情況進行詳細說明。 首先’作為前提,使用濕式蝕刻而製作之FPD用大型多 色調光罩中之遮光膜通常係使用Cr系遮光膜。 於將MoSiN用作半透光膜之FpD用大型多色調光罩基底 143513.doc 201017328 及光罩中,可使用自基板侧起具有基板\肘〇3丨>^半透光膜\ Cr系遮光膜之積層構造之光罩基底(先前例1)。此時,對於However, LSI reticle for manufacturing semiconductor devices such as microprocessors, semiconductor memories, and system LSIs (Large Scale Integration) is relatively small, and is only about 6 吋 square, and in most cases, It is used in a step-down (single-step projection exposure) reduction projection exposure apparatus. Further, in the LSI photomask, it is considered to use a single-color exposure light from the viewpoint of eliminating the chromatic aberration by the lens system and thereby improving the resolution. The short-wavelength of the single-color exposure wavelength associated with the LSI reticle is toward the g-line (436 nm) and i-line (365 nm) of the ultra-high pressure mercury lamp, KrF excimer laser (248 nm), ArF Molecular laser (193 nm) development. Further, the small mask substrate for manufacturing the LSI photomask requires a high etching precision of 143513.doc 201017328 degrees, so that the thin film formed on the mask substrate is patterned by the dry type. In contrast, a large reticle for FPD is relatively large, for example, 33 〇 mm >< 450 mm to 1220 mm X 1400 mm, and in many cases, it is mounted on a mirror projection method or an exposure apparatus using a lens projection method with a lens. use. In addition, when the FPD is mounted on a large-area reticle by an exposure apparatus of a mirror projection (a double projection exposure based on a scanning exposure method), (I) exposure is performed via a reticle by using only a reflection optical system, The chromatic aberration caused by the lens system such as the LSI reticle is not a problem; and (II) the current 'despite the influence of the multi-color wave exposure (the influence of interference or chromatic aberration due to transmitted light or reflected light, etc.) However, it is advantageous to ensure that the multi-color wave exposure of the exposure light intensity larger than that of the monochromatic wave exposure is advantageous in terms of integrated production. Therefore, multi-color wave exposure is performed by using the wide band of i to g lines of the ultrahigh pressure mercury lamp. Further, even when the FPD is mounted on a large-sized exposure apparatus using a large-sized photomask, the multi-color wave exposure is performed in the same manner as described in the above (H). The advantage of only a plurality of exposures (multicolor wave exposure) is that the exposure light intensity can be made larger than in the case of single wavelength exposure (monochrome exposure). For example, compared with the monochromatic or 8-line monochromatic wave exposure, the light from the wavelength band of the g-line from the i-line including the ^ line is large. Therefore, it is possible to improve the intensity of the exposure light when the device is produced for exposure. Further, for example, in many cases, a large display device such as an FPD device is manufactured by a double exposure method. Compared with the reduced exposure method used in the manufacture of an LSI device or the like, the equal-time exposure method has the advantage that the incident light is 143513.doc 201017328 which is irradiated to the device surface, so that a plurality of wavelengths can be utilized by using a plurality of wavelengths The incident intensity of the light that is exposed to the exposure of the device surface is compensated. Further, in the manufacture of a large-sized photomask for FPD, it is difficult to manufacture a large-sized dry etching apparatus, that is, the large-sized dry rice engraving apparatus 1 has been manufactured, and the price is also very high, and it is technically difficult to achieve uniform etching. Therefore, in the case of a large-sized mask substrate for manufacturing a large-sized photomask for FPD, in many cases, attention is paid to cost and throughput, and a wet etching using an etching solution is used to form a film formed on the mask substrate. Patterned. In recent years, the demand accuracy (specification value) of FPDs for large multi-tone masks has become strict. At the same time, the industry also expects to cut costs. Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have reviewed the following problems regarding a large-sized multi-tone mask base and a photomask for FpD, and the object of the present invention is to deposit a semi-transparent film and a light-shielding film by wet etching. In the case of patterning, the demand accuracy (specification value) that becomes strict is satisfied. As a result, it has been found that it is difficult to simultaneously satisfy the following three aspects, namely, the inhibition of the transmittance of the semi-transmissive film across the wavelength band of the 丨 line to the g line; (2) the light that is transmitted through the semi-transmissive film. The transmittance is adjusted to a desired value (especially for easy fine adjustment); and (3) a process with less defects can be used. The following will be described in detail. First, as a premise, a light-shielding film for a large-sized multi-tone mask for FPD produced by wet etching is usually a Cr-based light-shielding film. In the large-scale multi-tone mask substrate F153 for immersing MoSiN as a semi-transmissive film, 143513.doc 201017328 and a reticle, it is possible to use a substrate/elbow 3 from the substrate side. A reticle substrate of a laminated structure of a light-shielding film (previously Example 1). At this time, for

MoSiN半透光膜而言,其i線_g線間之透射率變動相對較 大’但用以獲得特定之透射率之膜厚相對較厚(例如約 20〜35 nm) ’因此’容易藉由膜厚而調整及控制透射率。 又,當將MoSiN用作半透光膜之情形,可採用先形成半透 光膜(圖10(1))及後形成半透光膜(圖10(2))之兩種製程。 於將CrN用作半透光膜之FPD用大型多色調光罩基底及 光罩(先前例2)中,對於CrN半透光膜而言’其丨線^線間之 透射率變動相對較小,但用以獲得特定之透射率之膜厚相 對較薄(例如約10 nm以下之非常薄之厚度),因此,難以 藉由膜厚而調整或控制透射率。又,CrN半透光膜幾乎不 具有與Cr系遮光膜之蝕刻選擇性,因此,必需首先使心系 遮光膜成膜並使之圖案化’其後’使CrN半透光膜成膜並 使之圖案化(必需採用所謂之後形成半透光膜之製程)。於 後形成半透光膜之製程之情料,必需將成膜與使所形成 之膜圖案化之-系列步驟分成2次進行,因此與先形成半 透光膜之製程相比較,缺陷增加。 如上所述,尚未提出具有先前例1及先前例2該兩者之優 點且可、;肖除兩者之缺點之技術。亦即,尚未提出可同時滿 足上述(1)〜(3)之技術。 本發明係關於一種FPD用大型多色調光罩基底及光罩, ,、目的在於提供-種可同時滿足以下之 ⑴抑制半透光媒之遍及i線〜以 ():技術。 及長帶之透射率變… 143513.doc 201017328In the MoSiN semi-transmissive film, the transmittance between the i-line and the g-line varies relatively 'but the film thickness to obtain a specific transmittance is relatively thick (for example, about 20 to 35 nm). The transmittance is adjusted and controlled by the film thickness. Further, when MoSiN is used as the semi-transmissive film, two processes of forming a semi-transmissive film (Fig. 10 (1)) and then forming a semi-transparent film (Fig. 10 (2)) can be employed. In the large multi-tone mask base and the photomask for the FPD using CrN as a semi-transmissive film (previous example 2), the transmittance variation between the turns of the CrN semi-transmissive film is relatively small. However, the film thickness for obtaining a specific transmittance is relatively thin (for example, a very thin thickness of about 10 nm or less), and therefore, it is difficult to adjust or control the transmittance by the film thickness. Further, since the CrN semi-transmissive film hardly has etching selectivity with the Cr-based light-shielding film, it is necessary to first form a film of the core-based light-shielding film and pattern it to "form" to form a CrN semi-transmissive film. The patterning (required to use a process of forming a semi-transmissive film later). In the subsequent process of forming the semi-transmissive film, it is necessary to divide the film formation and the series of steps for patterning the formed film into two, so that the defects are increased as compared with the process of forming the semi-transmissive film first. As described above, the technique of the prior art 1 and the prior example 2 has not been proposed and can be used to eliminate the disadvantages of both. That is, the technology of the above (1) to (3) has not been proposed yet. The present invention relates to a large-sized multi-tone mask base and a photomask for FPD, and aims to provide the following ones: (1) Suppressing a semi-transmissive medium throughout the i-line to (): technology.

As a specific example of the second aspect, for example, a laminate in which CrN\MoSi is laminated from the substrate side is used. The film forms a semi-transparent 臈. In this case, the transmittance can be adjusted by using either the CrN film or the MoSi film or the film thickness of both films. The transmittance of the MoSi film is adjusted by the film formation conditions, whereby the transmittance of the semi-transmissive film including the laminated film is adjusted. Further, the transmittance can be finely adjusted by the film thickness of MoSiN. I435I3.doc -16 - 201017328 Further, in the above aspect 2, the following film may be set as the lower layer (layer on the substrate side) or may be provided on the upper layer (layer on the light shielding film side), and the film is 1 line _ § line Transmittance variation is relatively small, but used to achieve specific transmittance The film thickness is relatively thin, so that it is difficult to adjust and control the transmittance of the film. In the reticle substrate and the reticle of the present invention, the semi-transmissive film including the laminated film is spread over the i-line to the g-line. The amount of change in the transmittance of the wavelength band is 2%%. The following is preferable (construction 3). _ The reason is to satisfy the demand accuracy (standard value) which becomes strict. Moreover, the reason is that it can be obtained largely The effect of suppressing the amount of change in transmittance in the wavelength band of the semi-transmissive film over the 1 line to the g line is small. From the same viewpoint, for the semi-transparent film including the laminated film, Preferably, the transmittance change amount in the wavelength band of the i-line to the g-line is 15% or less. In the reticle base and the reticle of the present invention, the semi-transmissive film constituting the laminated film having a smaller φ includes a change in transmittance of light exposed to a wavelength T extending from the i-th to the g-line. (The difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the transmittance in the wavelength band of the 丨 line to the g line) is preferably 1 % or less. As such a material, MoSi, CrN, etc. are mentioned. Among them, CrN is the most preferable from the viewpoints of (a) to (d) below. Ο) The wavelength dependence of the transmittance of the light exposed to the wavelength band across the 〜 line to the g line is small. (b) Excellent chemical resistance (washing resistance) and light resistance. (e) The etching rate can be controlled. 143513.doc -17- 201017328 (d) The etching solution of the semi-transparent film (such as M〇SiN, MoSi, etc.) is more selective than the other one. Therefore, it is a semi-transparent film (such as MoSiN). In the case of etching, MoSi, etc., the semi-transmissive film is less damaged. The reticle base and the reticle of the present invention include, for example, a laminated film in which a semi-transparent film is laminated on a light-transmitting substrate, and a light-shielding film containing a material containing chromium, The laminated film of the light-transmissive film is formed by sequentially laminating a semi-transparent film containing a material containing chromium and nitrogen, and a semi-transmissive film containing a material containing molybdenum and niobium or a material containing molybdenum, niobium and nitrogen ( Composition 4). In the case of the reticle base and the reticle of the present invention, when a semi-transmissive film comprising a laminated film of CrN\M〇SiN laminated from the substrate side is used, the following effects can be obtained. 1) By setting the film thickness of MoSiN to an appropriate thickness, it is possible to suppress the change in the transmittance of the wavelength band extending from the 匕 line to the g line to 1.5% or less. 2) Compared with the case of using a CrN single-layer film (Previous Example 2), it is easy to adjust and control to a desired transmittance, and it is particularly easy to finely adjust the transmittance. 3) A process of forming a semi-transmissive film first can be used; 4) Compared with the case of using a MoSiN single-layer film (previous example), the MoSiN film can be thinned, so that the etching time can be shortened. Specifically, the film thickness was about 丨/3 as compared with the previous example 1, and the appropriate etching time was about 丨/5. 5) Compared with the MoSi single-layer film (Hebei 8丨, M〇sm, etc.), the sheet resistance is low in the state of the laminated film. It is generally considered that although the 5^〇8 lanthanide film is non-conductive, it can be electrically conductive by the piercing effect of the CrN film in contact with the lower layer. 143513.doc -18- 201017328. 6) It is excellent in light resistance and chemical resistance as compared with a MoSi single layer film (MoSi, MoSiN, etc.). Since the CrN film is excellent in light resistance and chemical resistance, the semi-transmissive film containing the laminated film is also excellent in light resistance and chemical resistance. - 7) layers in a laminated structure in which a semi-transmissive CrN film (lower layer), a semi-transmissive MoSi film (upper layer) in contact therewith, and a core-shielding film in contact therewith are laminated from the substrate side Between, a higher etching selectivity ratio can be obtained. In the reticle base and the reticle of the present invention, the semi-transmissive film including the laminated film may have a two-layer structure (two-layer film), or may have a multilayer structure (multilayer film) of three or more layers. In the present invention, each of the semi-transmissive films constituting the laminated film may be a film containing a metal. In the present invention, the semi-transmissive film including the laminated film is preferably in the state of a laminated film, that is, the electric resistance is a sheet resistance value of kn/under. φ In the reticle base and the reticle of the present invention, as the material of the semi-transmissive film, it is preferable to select a thickness so that the transmittance of the light-transmitting portion is set to 1%%. Examples of the semi-transparent properties of about 60% (40 to 60%) include MoSi-based materials, Cr compounds (such as oxides, nitrides, nitrogen oxides, and fluorides), Si, and W. A1 and so on. Si, W, A1, etc., because of their film thickness, can obtain a material having a high light-shielding property or a semi-transmissive property. Here, the material of the semi-transmissive medium is not limited to the MoSi-based material composed of Mo and Si. The metal and ruthenium (MSi, wherein lanthanide M〇, Ta, W, 143513.doc -19- 201017328) are exemplified.

The amount of change is suppressed to 1.5% or less. Further, the transmittance can be finely adjusted by using the film thickness of MoSiN. On the other hand, when the film thickness of MoSiN is not appropriate (in the case of a sample of CrN + MoSiN-2), the effect of suppressing the amount of change in transmittance in the wavelength band of the i line to the g line cannot be obtained. (Example 2) (Production of Photomask Base) A sample obtained by forming various semi-transmissive films on a substrate in the form of a single layer or a laminate was prepared. 143513.doc -24- 201017328 (1) The CrN film uses a Cr target, a heart and helium (8:2 sccm) gas as a sputtering gas, and a CrN film (half-it light film) at a wavelength relative to the source of the exposure light.

(Evaluation) The CrN film which is easy to adjust and control the transmittance by using a relatively small transmittance change between the i-line and the g line and having a relatively large transmittance to obtain a transmittance of the characteristic is used. The transmittance variation between the "i line and the g line is relatively small, but the film thickness for obtaining a specific transmittance is relatively small. Therefore, it is difficult to adjust the transmittance and control the laminated film of the iM〇Si film. In the semi-transmissive film, the effect of suppressing the change in transmittance in the wavelength band of the i-line to the g-line to 2.0% or less can be obtained. In the second embodiment, the transmittance can be adjusted by using the film thickness of either or both of the CrN film and the MoSi film. Further, the transmittance of the MoSi film can be adjusted according to the film formation conditions of the film, whereby the transmittance of the semi-transmissive film including the laminate film can be adjusted. Further, it is possible to finely adjust the transmittance by making the thickness of fflM〇SiN thick. (Example 3) 143513.doc -26- 201017328 (Production of reticle base) On a large glass substrate (synthesis quartz (QZ) having a thickness of 10 mm and a size of 85 〇 mm x 12 mm), a large continuous type was used. A semi-transmissive film for a multi-tone mask is formed by a sputtering apparatus. Specifically, using a cardiac target, a gas of ^2 and Ν2 (8·2 SCCm) is used as a sputtering gas to form a crN with a film thickness (about 88 angstroms) of a transmittance of 40% with respect to the wavelength of the light source to be exposed. Membrane (semi-transparent. Membrane). Then, on the semi-transmissive film, using Ar:Mo:Si=20:80 (atomic percent) light, Ar and & as a sputtering gas (flow ratio: Ar 5:n2 5〇seem), A film of 120 angstroms thick forms a semi-transmissive film overlayer film (MoSiN) containing a nitride film of molybdenum and niobium. The sheet resistance of the laminated film in the state in which the semi-transmissive film underlayer film (CrN) and the semi-transmissive film overlayer film (MoSiN) are laminated exhibits conductivity of i or less. Then, on the overlying film of the semi-transmissive film, as a light-shielding film, first, a gas is used as a sputtering gas to form a 150 Å CrN medium, and then Ar and CH4 gases are used as a sputtering gas. A CrC film (main light-shielding film) of 65 angstroms was formed, and thereafter, a CrON film (film surface anti-reflection film) of 250 angstroms was formed by using Ba** and NO gas as a sputtering gas, and film formation was continuously performed in this manner. Further, each of the films constitutes a slanted film. In the above manner, a large reticle base for FPD was produced. (Production of Multi-Color Mask) The following mask base is prepared (see Fig. 8 (1)), and the mask base is sequentially formed on the light-transmitting substrate 21 (QZ) in the above-described manner with reference to Fig. 7 There is a semi-transmissive film 24 including a laminated film of a semi-transmissive film 22 (CrN) and a semi-transmissive film 23 (M〇SiN), and a light shielding film 30 (a CrN film from the substrate side) 143513.doc -27- 201017328 31/CrC light-shielding film 32/CrON anti-reflection film 33). Then, on the reticle substrate, an electron beam or a positive photoresist for laser drawing is applied, for example, by a CAp coating device, and dried to form a photoresist film. Second, an electron beam is used. Drawing is performed by a drawing machine, a laser drawing machine, or the like. After the drawing, the photoresist pattern 50a is formed in a region other than the light transmitting portion (that is, a region corresponding to the light shielding portion and the semi-light transmitting portion) on the mask substrate (refer to FIG. 8 (2)). . Then, the formed photoresist pattern 5〇3 is used as a photomask, and the light-shielding film 3〇 is wet-etched to form a light-shielding film pattern 3〇a (see Fig. 8(3)). The rice broth used is one in which sulphuric acid is added to the sulphuric acid. Then, after the photoresist pattern 50a is removed, the light-shielding film pattern 3〇a is used as a mask, and the upper semi-transmissive film 23 (MoSiN) is wet-etched to form a semi-transmissive film (MoSiN) pattern 23a ( Refer to Figure 8(4)).

Then, the light-shielding film pattern 30a is used as a mask, and the lower semi-transmissive film 22 (CrN) is wet-etched to form a semi-transmissive film pattern 22a (see Fig. 8 (5)). The surname used is the one in which the acid is added to the acid. Then, the above photoresist is applied again over the entire surface to form a photoresist. Next, the second drawing is performed. After the drawing, the film is developed to form a photoresist pattern 51a corresponding to the light shielding portion and the light transmitting portion (see Fig. 8 (6)). Then, the formed photoresist pattern 51a is used as a mask, and the light-shielding pattern 3〇a which is a region of the semi-light-transmitting portion is removed by the fishing etching 143513.doc 201017328. Thereby, the light-transmissive film on the semi-transmissive portion is removed, and the light-shielding pattern 3〇b is formed (refer to Fig. 8 (7)). Finally, the remaining photoresist pattern 5丨a is removed by using concentrated sulfuric acid or the like (see Fig. 8 (8)). 多 A multi-tone mask is produced in the above manner.

Thereafter, the semi-transmissive film (MoSiN) pattern 23a of the upper layer of the semi-transmissive film pattern 2牝 not protected by the photoresist pattern is etched by using an etching solution (addition of hydrogen peroxide to the hydrofluoroammonium). Only the semi-transmissive portion of the lower semi-transmissive film (CrN) pattern 22a is included. The photoresist pattern 24a is removed to produce a multi-tone (4-tone) mask having a semi-transmissive film (CrN) pattern 22a and a lower layer including a lower layer as follows: 143513.doc -29·201017328 The semi-transmissive portion of the laminated film of the semi-transmissive film (MoSiN) pattern 23a, the semi-transmissive portion including only the lower semi-transmissive film (CrN) pattern 22a, the light shielding portion, and the light transmitting portion (refer to FIG. 9 (refer to FIG. 9 ( 2)).
