- the configuration of the phase shift mask blank 200 is the same as that of the phase shift mask blank 100 shown in FIG. 1 except for having the etching mask layer 30 .
- the phase shift mask blank 200 of this modified example has the same effect as the phase shift mask blank 100, and further has the etching mask layer 30, so that it has the effect described below.
- a phase shift mask 300 (see FIG. 3) can be manufactured from the phase shift mask blanks 200 by forming a predetermined pattern 50 on the phase shift layer 20 in the same manner as the phase shift mask blanks 100 .
- a photoresist layer 40 is formed on the phase shift mask blanks 200 (see FIG. 4A).
- the phase shift layer (ZrSiN-based layer) 20 of this modified example has low adhesion to the photoresist layer 40 . Therefore, if the photoresist layer 40 is formed directly on the phase shift layer 20, the photoresist layer 40 may peel off during wet etching.

- the etching mask layer 30 may consist of a chromium nitride layer 31 formed on the phase shift layer 20 and a chromium oxide layer 32 formed on the chromium nitride layer 31 .
- the chromium oxide layer 32 can suppress the reflectance of light with a wavelength of 413 nm to about 11%, for example.

If the etching mask layer 30 is too thin, the etching time will be shortened, making it difficult to control the CD (critical dimension) within the plane of the phase shift layer (that is, control the line width of the pattern 50).
- the etching mask layer 30 is too thick, the amount of side etching increases, making it difficult to obtain pattern dimensions as designed.
- the phase shift layer 20 is wet-etched based on the etching mask layer 30 (see FIG. 4D)
- the phase shift layer 20 is isotropically etched by the etchant. Therefore, in addition to etching the phase shift layer 20 in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 10, the phase shift layer 20 is also etched in the lateral direction orthogonal to the vertical direction. This phenomenon in which etching progresses in the lateral direction is called side etching. Therefore, if the etching mask layer 30 is too thick, or if the phase shift layer 20 is too thick as described above, there is a risk that the pattern width will be wider than the desired pattern width.
- phase shift mask blanks 200 are not particularly limited, and a general-purpose method can be used.
- the phase shift mask blanks 200 may be manufactured by depositing the phase shift layer 20 and the etching mask layer 30 on the substrate 10 using reactive sputtering, which will be described later in Examples.

- the phase shift mask 300 has a substrate 10 and a phase shift layer 20 formed on the surface 10 a of the substrate 10 , and a predetermined pattern 50 is formed on the phase shift layer 20 .
- the configuration of the phase shift mask 300 is the same as the phase shift mask blanks 100 shown in FIG. 1, except that the predetermined pattern 50 is formed on the phase shift layer 20 .
- the inclination angle ⁇ of the side surface 21 of the phase shift layer 20 defining the pattern 50 from the substrate surface 10a is preferably 45° to 90°.
- phase shift mask 300 is not particularly limited, and a general-purpose method can be used.
- the phase shift mask 300 may be manufactured using reactive sputtering and wet etching (see FIG. 4), which will be described in Examples below.
- the exposure method using the phase shift mask 300 can be implemented as a photolithography process using an exposure apparatus in the manufacture of devices such as semiconductors and liquid crystal panels.
- an exposure apparatus 500 used in the exposure method includes a light source LS, an illumination optical system 5 02, a mask stage 503 that holds a phase shift mask 300, a projection optical system 504, a substrate stage 505 that holds a photosensitive substrate 515 that is an exposure target, and a driving mechanism 506 that moves the substrate stage 505 in a horizontal plane.
