Description
本發明係關於一種光罩基底及其製造方法、光罩之製造方法、以及顯示裝置製造方法。 The present invention relates to a photomask substrate and a method for manufacturing the same, a method for manufacturing a photomask, and a method for manufacturing a display device.
於以LCD(Liquid Crystal Display,液晶顯示器)為代表之FPD(Flat Panel Display,平板顯示器)等顯示裝置中,隨著大畫面化、廣視角化,高精細化、高速顯示化正急速發展。為了該高精細化、高速顯示化而需要之要素之一為製作微細且尺寸精度較高之元件或配線等電子電路圖案。該顯示裝置用電子電路之圖案化多使用光微影。因此,需要形成有微細且高精度之圖案的顯示裝置製造用之光罩。 In display devices such as FPD (Flat Panel Display) represented by LCD (Liquid Crystal Display, liquid crystal display), along with large screen and wide viewing angle, high-definition and high-speed display are rapidly developing. One of the elements required for such high-definition and high-speed display is the production of electronic circuit patterns such as fine and highly dimensionally accurate elements and wirings. The patterning of the electronic circuit for the display device mostly uses photolithography. Therefore, there is a need for a photomask for manufacturing a display device in which a fine and high-precision pattern is formed.
顯示裝置製造用之光罩係由光罩基底製作。光罩基底係於由合成石英玻璃等構成之透明基板上設置由相對於曝光光不透明之材料構成之遮光膜而構成。於光罩基底或光罩中,為了抑制曝光時之光之反射,而於遮光膜之正背兩面側設置有反射抑制層,光罩基底例如成為自透明基板側依次使第1反射抑制層、遮光層及第2反射抑制層積層而成之膜構成。光罩係藉由將光罩基底之遮光膜利用濕式蝕刻等進行圖案化並形成特定之 遮罩圖案而製作。 Photomasks used in the manufacture of display devices are fabricated from photomask substrates. The mask base is formed by disposing a light-shielding film made of a material that is opaque to exposure light on a transparent substrate made of synthetic quartz glass or the like. In the mask base or the mask, in order to suppress the reflection of light during exposure, a reflection suppression layer is provided on the front and back sides of the light shielding film. The light-shielding layer and the second reflection suppressing layer are laminated. The mask is formed by patterning the light-shielding film of the mask base by wet etching and the like and forming a specific pattern. Made with mask pattern.
與此種顯示裝置製造用之光罩、成為其原版之光罩基底、以及兩者之製造方法相關聯之技術揭示於專利文獻1。
[專利文獻1]韓國註冊專利第10-1473163號公報 [Patent Document 1] Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1473163
於顯示裝置(例如TV(TeleVision,電視)用之顯示面板)之製造中,例如,使用光罩,對顯示裝置用基板轉印特定圖案之後,使顯示裝置用基板滑動,轉印特定圖案,藉此,重複進行圖案轉印。於該轉印中,因自曝光裝置之光源而曝光光入射至光罩時之光罩之背面側之反射光、或曝光光通過光罩後來自被轉印體之反射光返回至光罩正面側之反射光之影響,有時於顯示裝置之重疊附近,照射假定以上之曝光光。其結果,有時以相鄰之圖案彼此一部分重疊之方式曝光,而於所製造之顯示裝置中產生顯示不均。 In the manufacture of display devices (such as display panels for TV (TeleVision, television)), for example, using a photomask, after transferring a specific pattern to a substrate for a display device, the substrate for a display device is slid to transfer the specific pattern. Here, pattern transfer is repeated. In this transfer, when the exposure light from the light source of the exposure device is incident on the photomask, the reflected light on the back side of the photomask, or the reflected light from the transfer object after the exposure light passes through the photomask returns to the front surface of the photomask. Due to the influence of the reflected light from the side, the exposure light as assumed above may be irradiated in the vicinity of the overlap of the display device. As a result, exposure may be performed so that adjacent patterns may partially overlap each other, and display unevenness may occur in the manufactured display device.
因此,於光罩基底中,為了抑制顯示不均而要求使遮光膜之正背面之反射率為10%以下(例如,波長365nm~436nm),進而較佳為5%以下(例如,400nm~436nm)。進而,自提高光罩之臨界尺寸(Critical Dimension,簡稱CD)均勻性之觀點而言,若考慮雷射描畫光中之遮光膜之正面反射,則要求使遮光膜正面之反射率為5%以下(例如,波長413nm),進而較佳為3%以下(例如,波長413nm)。 Therefore, in the mask substrate, in order to suppress display unevenness, the reflectivity of the front and back of the light-shielding film is required to be 10% or less (for example, the wavelength of 365nm~436nm), and more preferably 5% or less (for example, 400nm~436nm ). Furthermore, from the viewpoint of improving the uniformity of the critical dimension (CD) of the mask, if the front reflection of the light shielding film in the laser drawing light is considered, the reflectivity of the front surface of the light shielding film is required to be 5% or less. (for example, wavelength 413 nm), and more preferably 3% or less (for example, wavelength 413 nm).
又,顯示裝置製造用之光罩係除了顯示裝置之高精細化、 高速顯示化之要求以外,基板尺寸趨於大型化,近年來,將使用短邊之長度為850mm以上之矩形狀基板之超大型之光罩使用於顯示裝置之製造。再者,作為上述短邊之長度為850mm以上之大型光罩,有G7用之850mm×1200mm尺寸、G8用之1220mm×1400mm尺寸、G10用之1620mm×1780mm尺寸,尤其作為此種大型之光罩中之遮罩圖案之CD均勻性(CD Uniformity)要求100nm以下之高精度之遮罩圖案。 In addition, the photomask used in the manufacture of display devices is not only a high-definition display device, but also In addition to the requirements of high-speed display, the size of substrates tends to increase, and in recent years, ultra-large photomasks using rectangular substrates with a short side length of 850 mm or more have been used in the manufacture of display devices. Furthermore, as the above-mentioned large photomasks whose short side length is 850mm or more, there are 850mm×1200mm size for G7, 1220mm×1400mm size for G8, and 1620mm×1780mm size for G10, especially for such large photomasks. The CD uniformity (CD Uniformity) of the mask pattern requires a high-precision mask pattern below 100 nm.
於先前提出之專利文獻1之光罩基底中,於使基板之短邊之長度為850mm以上之情形時,無法滿足使遮光膜之正背面之反射率相對於曝光波長為10%以下、且使用光罩基底製作出之光罩中之遮罩圖案之CD均勻性為100nm以下的要求。
In the mask base of the previously proposed

準備相對於曝光光實質上透明之透明基板11。再者,可根據需要而實施研削步驟、研磨步驟等任意之加工步驟,以使透明基板11成為平坦且平滑之主表面。於研磨後,可進行洗淨而將透明基板11之正面之異物或污染去除。作為洗淨,例如,可使用硫酸、硫酸過氧化氫混合物(SPM)、
氨、氨水過氧化氫混合物(APM)、OH自由基洗淨水、臭氧水、溫水等。
A
繼而,於透明基板11上形成第1反射抑制層13。該形成係藉由使用含有Cr之濺鍍靶、以及包含氧系氣體、氮系氣體之反應性氣體及包含稀有氣體之濺鍍氣體之反應性濺鍍而進行成膜。此時,作為成膜條件,濺鍍氣體中所包含之反應性氣體之流量係選擇成為金屬模式之流量。
Next, the first
此處,使用圖5對金屬模式進行說明。圖5係用以說明利用反應性濺鍍形成薄膜之情形時之成膜模式之模式圖,橫軸表示稀有氣體與反應性氣體之混合氣體中之反應性氣體之分壓(流量)比率,縱軸表示施加至靶之電壓。於反應性濺鍍中,於一面導入氧系氣體或氮系氣體等反應性氣體一面使靶放電時,放電電漿之狀態根據反應性氣體之流量而變化,隨之,成膜速度變化。根據該成膜速度之差異有3個模式。具體而言,如圖5所示,有使反應性氣體之供給量(比率)大於某閾值之反應模式、使反應性氣體之供給量(比率)少於反應模式之金屬模式、以及使反應性氣體之供給量(比率)設定於反應模式與金屬模式之間的過渡模式。於金屬模式中,藉由使反應性氣體之比率變少,而使反應性氣體向靶表面之附著變少,可使成膜速度變快。而且,於金屬模式中,由於反應性氣體之供給量較少,故而,例如,可形成較具有化學計量組成之膜而O濃度(氧濃度)或N濃度(氮濃度)之至少任一者之濃度變低的膜。即,可形成Cr之含有率相對性地多,O含有率或N含有率較低之膜。 Here, the metallic mode will be described using FIG. 5 . 5 is a schematic diagram for explaining a film formation mode when a thin film is formed by reactive sputtering, the horizontal axis represents the partial pressure (flow rate) ratio of the reactive gas in the mixed gas of the rare gas and the reactive gas, the vertical axis The axis represents the voltage applied to the target. In reactive sputtering, when a target is discharged while introducing a reactive gas such as an oxygen-based gas or a nitrogen-based gas, the state of the discharge plasma changes according to the flow rate of the reactive gas, and the film formation rate changes accordingly. There are three modes according to the difference in the film-forming speed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5 , there are a reaction mode in which the supply amount (ratio) of the reactive gas is made larger than a certain threshold value, a metal mode in which the supply amount (ratio) of the reactive gas is made smaller than the reaction mode, and The supply amount (ratio) of the gas is set in the transition mode between the reaction mode and the metal mode. In the metal mode, by reducing the ratio of the reactive gas, the adhesion of the reactive gas to the target surface is reduced, and the film formation rate can be increased. Furthermore, in the metal mode, since the supply amount of the reactive gas is small, for example, a film having a more stoichiometric composition can be formed with at least one of the O concentration (oxygen concentration) or the N concentration (nitrogen concentration). membranes with lower concentrations. That is, a film with relatively high Cr content and low O content or N content can be formed.

再者,於將第1反射抑制層13形成為於膜厚方向上組成均勻之單一膜之情形時,只要不改變反應性氣體之種類或流量地成膜即可,但於以在膜厚方向上O含有率或N含有率變化之方式發生組成傾斜之情形時,可適當變更反應性氣體之種類或流量、反應性氣體中之氧系氣體或氮系氣體之比率等。又,亦可變更氣體供給口之配置或氣體供給方法等。

Next, the
作為靶,只要含有即可,例如,除了鉻金屬以外,可使用氧化鉻、氮化鉻、氮氧化鉻等鉻系材料。作為氮系氣體,可使用氮(N2)等。作為稀有氣體,例如,亦可使用氦氣、氖氣、氬氣、氪氣及氙氣等。再者,除了上述反應性氣體以外,亦可供給上述所說明之氧系氣體、烴系氣體。 As a target, what is necessary is just to contain, for example, chromium-based materials such as chromium oxide, chromium nitride, and chromium oxynitride can be used in addition to chromium metal.

Furthermore, as the film-forming conditions of the
繼而,於遮光層14上形成第2反射抑制層15。該形成係與第1反射抑制層13相同地,將反應性氣體之流量及靶施加電力設定為如成為金屬模式之條件,使用含有之濺鍍靶,藉由反應性濺鍍進行成膜。藉此,於遮光層14上,形成以含有率計包含30~75原子%之Cr、20~50原子%之O、5~20原子%之N之第2反射抑制層15。

再者,遮光膜12中之各層之成膜可使用線內型濺鍍裝置利用in-situ進行。於並非線內型濺鍍裝置之情形時,有時於各層之成膜後,必須將透明基板11取出至裝置外,使透明基板11曝露於大氣,各層被表面氧化或表面碳化。其結果,有時使遮光膜12之相對於曝光光之反射率或蝕刻速率變化。因此,若為線內型濺鍍裝置,則不將透明基板11取出至裝置外而曝露於大氣,可連續地成膜各層,故而可抑制未意圖之元素向遮光膜12之取入。

繼而,對使用上述光罩製造顯示裝置之方法進行說明。 Next, a method of manufacturing a display device using the above-mentioned photomask will be described.
首先,對在顯示裝置之基板上形成有抗蝕劑膜之帶抗蝕劑膜之基板,將藉由上述光罩之製造方法而獲得之光罩以與介隔曝光裝置之投影光學系統而形成於基板上之抗蝕劑膜對向之配置方式,載置於曝光裝置之遮罩載台上。 First, a photomask obtained by the above-described photomask manufacturing method is formed with a projection optical system of an intervening exposure device with respect to a substrate with a resist film in which a resist film is formed on a substrate of a display device. The resist film on the substrate is placed on the mask stage of the exposure device in an arrangement in which the resist films face each other.
其次,進行抗蝕劑曝光步驟,即,將曝光光照射至光罩,將圖案轉印至形成於顯示裝置之基板上之抗蝕劑膜。 Next, a resist exposure step is performed, that is, exposure light is irradiated to the photomask, and the pattern is transferred to the resist film formed on the substrate of the display device.
曝光光例如使用自300nm~550nm之波長區域選擇之單波長之光(j射線(波長313nm)、i射線(波長365nm)、h射線(波長405nm)、g射線(波長436nm)等)、或包含複數個波長之光(例如,j射線(波長313nm)、i射線(波長365nm)、h射線(405nm)、g射線(波長436nm))之複合光。於本實施形態中,由於使用遮光膜圖案(遮罩圖案)之正背面之反射率降低之光罩製造顯示裝置(顯示面板),故而可獲得無顯示不均之顯示裝置(顯示面板)。 For example, the exposure light uses single-wavelength light (j-ray (wavelength 313nm), i-ray (wavelength 365nm), h-ray (wavelength 405nm), g-ray (wavelength 436nm), etc.) selected from the wavelength range of 300nm to 550nm), or contains Light of multiple wavelengths (eg, j-ray (wavelength 313nm), i-ray (wavelength 365nm), h-ray (405nm), g-ray (wavelength 436nm)) composite light. In this embodiment, since a display device (display panel) is manufactured using a mask whose reflectivity of the front and back of the light-shielding film pattern (mask pattern) is reduced, a display device (display panel) without display unevenness can be obtained.
根據本實施形態,發揮以下所示之1個或複數個效果。 According to this embodiment, one or a plurality of effects shown below are exhibited.
(a)本實施形態之光罩基底1係以如下方式構成,即,使第1反射抑制層13、遮光層14及第2反射抑制層15積層而形成遮光膜12,第1反射抑制層13係含有鉻、氧及氮之鉻系材料,且具有Cr含有率為25~75原子%、O含有率為15~45原子%、N含有率為10~30原子%之組成,遮光層14係含有鉻及氮之鉻系材料,且具有Cr含有率為70~95原子%、N含有率為5~30原子%之組成,第2反射抑制層15係含有鉻、氧及氮之鉻系材料,且具有Cr含有率為30~75原子%、O含有率為20~50原子%、N含有率為5~20原子%之組成。而且,使第1反射抑制層13及第2反射抑制層15之厚度為如最大限或接近最大限地獲得光干涉效果之厚度。藉此,可使光罩基底1之正背面之相對於曝光波長之反射率降低,分別設為10%以下。具體而言,於正背面之反射率光譜中,可使反射率極小之底部峰值之波長為相對高波長側之380nm~480nm,使波長380nm~480nm之光之反射率為10%以下,較佳為7.5%以下。另一方面,藉由使遮光層14為特定厚度,可使遮光膜12中之光學濃度為3.0以上。
(a) The
(b)又,於本實施形態中,藉由使第1反射抑制層13及第2反射抑制層15之組成於上述範圍內適當變更,可分別調整光罩基底1之背面側(透明基板11側)之反射率、及正面側(遮光膜12側)之反射率。例如,可將光罩基底1之反射率以正面側較背面側高之方式、以正面側與背面側相同之方式、或者以背面側較正面側高之方式分別調整。再者,於使用已製作之光罩對被轉印體進行曝光處理時,自抑制由曝光光自光罩向光源側
之反射所致之影響(重影之產生等)之觀點而言,較佳為,使背面側之反射率較正面側高。換言之,較佳為,使光罩基底1之正面側(遮光膜12側)之反射率較背面側(透明基板11側)之反射率低。具體而言,於將TFT(thin-film transistor,薄膜電晶體)陣列中之閘極電極或源極電極/汲極電極之配線圖案轉印至形成於作為被轉印體之顯示裝置之基板上之抗蝕劑膜時,光罩之遮光膜圖案之開口率成為50%以上,故而通過光罩之曝光光量變高,故而容易因來自被轉印體側之曝光光之返回光而產生眩光。因此,藉由使光罩基底1之遮光膜12之正面及背面之相對於曝光波長之反射率分別為10%以下,且使遮光膜12之正面側之反射率較背面側之反射率低,可降低眩光之影響,可防止使用光罩製作顯示裝置時之CD誤差。

穩定地確保剖面形狀之垂直性。例如,於將遮光膜12之恰蝕刻時間設為T時,即便於使蝕刻時間為1.5×T而進行過蝕刻之情形時,亦可獲得與使蝕刻時間為T之情形時同等之垂直性。具體而言,可將使蝕刻時間為T時之遮光膜圖案之剖面所成之角度Θ1與使蝕刻時間為1.5×T而進行過蝕刻後之剖面所成之角度Θ2的差設為10°以下。又,同樣地,於使蝕刻液之濃度變高之情形時與使蝕刻液之濃度變低之情形時,可將遮光膜圖案之剖面所成之角之差設為10°以下。又,同樣地,於使蝕刻液之溫度變高之情形時(例如42℃)與使蝕刻液之溫度變低之情形時(例如室溫23℃),蝕刻液之溫度越高則蝕刻速率越高,但可將遮光膜圖案之剖面所成之角之差設為10°以下。再者,所謂恰蝕刻時間,表示對遮光膜12於膜厚方向蝕刻而使透明基板11之正面開始露出為止之蝕刻時間。

(f) Preferably, the first
又,於構成遮光膜12之第1反射抑制層13、遮光層14、第2反射抑制層15之各層中,若O含有率變高則蝕刻速率過度地增加,或者若N含有率變高則蝕刻速率過度地增加,藉由使O或N之含有率變低,可抑制由含有該等之元素所致的各層之蝕刻速率之差。即,可抑制第1反射抑制層13及第2反射抑制層15與遮光層14之間之蝕刻速率之背離。其結果,以使構成遮光膜12之第1反射抑制層13、遮光層14、第2反射抑制層15之各層之蝕刻速率一致之目的可使遮光層14中含有之N或碳減少,或者使遮光層14不含有碳而為非含有碳。其結果,可提高遮光層14中之Cr之含有率,將光學濃度(OD)維持得較高。

第2反射抑制層之成膜條件係將濺鍍靶設為Cr濺鍍靶,反應性氣體之流量係以成為反應模式之方式使氧(O2)氣體之流量自150~300之範圍選擇,使氮(N2)氣體之流量自150~300sccm之範圍選擇,使甲烷(CH4)氣體之流量自5~15sccm之範圍選擇,使氬(Ar)氣體之流量自100~150sccm之範圍選擇,並且將靶施加電力設定為2.0~7.0kW之範圍。再者,第2反射抑制層之成膜時之基板搬送速度設為200mm/min,進行3次成膜。 The film-forming conditions of the second reflection suppressing layer were that the sputtering target was a Cr sputtering target, and the flow rate of the reactive gas was selected from the range of 150 to 300 for the flow rate of the oxygen (O 2 ) gas so as to be a reaction mode. The flow rate of nitrogen (N 2 ) gas is selected from the range of 150~300sccm, the flow rate of methane (CH 4 ) gas is selected from the range of 5~15sccm, and the flow rate of argon (Ar) gas is selected from the range of 100~150sccm, And the target applied electric power is set to the range of 2.0-7.0kW. In addition, the substrate conveyance speed at the time of film-forming of the 2nd reflection suppression layer was set to 200 mm/min, and film-forming was performed three times.
藉由膜厚計而測定出之遮光膜之膜厚為206nm。再者,表面自然氧化層、第2反射抑制層、遮光層、第1反射抑制層之各膜厚為約3nm,第2反射抑制層為約51nm,遮光層為約101nm,第1反射抑制層為約51nm。又,於第2反射抑制層與遮光層之間、遮光層與第1反射抑制層之間,形成有各元素之組成連續地傾斜之過渡層。 The film thickness of the light-shielding film measured by a film thickness meter was 206 nm. In addition, the thickness of each of the surface natural oxide layer, the second reflection suppression layer, the light shielding layer, and the first reflection suppression layer is about 3 nm, the thickness of the second reflection suppression layer is about 51 nm, the light shielding layer is about 101 nm, and the first reflection suppression layer is about 101 nm. is about 51 nm. Moreover, between the 2nd reflection suppression layer and the light-shielding layer, and between the light-shielding layer and the 1st reflection suppression layer, the transition layer in which the composition of each element is inclined continuously is formed.
關於比較例1之光罩基底之遮光膜,對各層中所包含之元素之含有率進行測定,結果如以下所述。再者,以下所示之各層之含有率表示各元素之膜厚方向上之平均含有率。 About the light-shielding film of the mask base of the comparative example 1, the content rate of the element contained in each layer was measured, and the result is as follows. In addition, the content rate of each layer shown below shows the average content rate of the film thickness direction of each element.
第1反射抑制層係CrON膜,包含45原子%之Cr、3原子%之N、52原子%之O。 The first reflection suppression layer is a CrON film, which contains 45 atomic % of Cr, 3 atomic % of N, and 52 atomic % of O.
遮光層係CrN膜,包含78原子%之Cr、22原子%之N。 The light-shielding layer is a CrN film containing 78 atomic % of Cr and 22 atomic % of N.
第2反射抑制層係CrON膜,包含45原子%之Cr、3原子%之N、52原子%之O。 The second reflection suppression layer is a CrON film, which contains 45 atomic % of Cr, 3 atomic % of N, and 52 atomic % of O.
與上述實施例1相同地,關於比較例1之光罩基底,對遮光膜之光學濃度、遮光膜之正背面之反射率進行測定。其結果,遮光膜之光學濃度係於作為曝光光之波長區域之g射線(波長436nm)中為3.5%,於i射線(波長365nm)中為4.5%。又,於波長365nm~436nm中,遮光膜之正面反射率為5.0%以下(4.5%(波長365nm)、4.0%(波長405nm)、3.5%(波長436nm)),遮光膜之背面反射率為7.5%以下(5.5%(波長365nm)、6.5%(波長405nm)、7.5%(波長436nm))。 The optical density of the light-shielding film and the reflectance of the front and back surfaces of the light-shielding film were measured in the same manner as in the above-mentioned Example 1 with respect to the mask base of Comparative Example 1. As a result, the optical density of the light-shielding film was 3.5% in g-ray (wavelength 436 nm) which is the wavelength region of exposure light, and 4.5% in i-ray (wavelength 365 nm). In addition, in the wavelength range of 365nm to 436nm, the front reflectivity of the light-shielding film is 5.0% or less (4.5% (wavelength 365nm), 4.0% (wavelength 405nm), 3.5% (wavelength 436nm)), and the backside reflectance of the light-shielding film is 7.5 % or less (5.5% (wavelength 365nm), 6.5% (wavelength 405nm), 7.5% (wavelength 436nm)).
進而,與實施例1相同地進行遮光膜圖案之評估。其結果,遮光膜圖案之側面係於透明基板附近成為錐形狀,於抗蝕劑膜附近成為倒錐形狀,剖面形狀成為非常差之結果。再者,確認到JET 100%時之與透明基板所成之角為150°。 Furthermore, the evaluation of the light-shielding film pattern was performed similarly to Example 1. As a result, the side surface of the light-shielding film pattern has a tapered shape in the vicinity of the transparent substrate and an inverted tapered shape in the vicinity of the resist film, resulting in a very poor cross-sectional shape. In addition, it was confirmed that the angle formed with the transparent substrate was 150° when the JET was 100%.
其次,使用比較例1之光罩基底,與實施例1相同地製作光罩。對所獲得之光罩之遮光膜圖案之CD均勻性進行測定,結果較差,為200nm。如此,於比較例1之遮罩基底中,可降低正背面之反射率,但無法形成高精度之遮罩圖案。 Next, using the photomask substrate of Comparative Example 1, a photomask was produced in the same manner as in Example 1. The CD uniformity of the light-shielding film pattern of the obtained photomask was measured, and the result was poor at 200 nm. In this way, in the mask substrate of Comparative Example 1, the reflectivity of the front and back surfaces can be reduced, but a high-precision mask pattern cannot be formed.
如以上般,於光罩基底之遮光膜中,第1反射抑制層、遮光層及第2反射抑制層之各者由具有特定組成之材料而形成,並且以使遮光膜之正背面各自之反射率為10%以下,且光學濃度成為3.0以上之方式設定各層之膜厚,而構成光罩基底,藉此,於藉由蝕刻而製作光罩時,可獲得CD均勻性良好且高精度之遮罩圖案。根據此種光罩,可製作顯示不均較少之顯示裝置。 As described above, in the light-shielding film of the mask base, each of the first reflection suppressing layer, the light-shielding layer and the second reflection suppressing layer is formed of a material having a specific composition, and each of the front and back surfaces of the light-shielding film is reflective The film thickness of each layer is set so that the ratio is 10% or less, and the optical density is 3.0 or more, and a mask base is formed, whereby a mask with good CD uniformity and high precision can be obtained when a mask is produced by etching. hood pattern. According to such a mask, a display device with less display unevenness can be produced.
