Abstract

PURPOSE:To use a material having no toxicity to obtain a low reflective mask which is easily patterned and obviates the generation of partial thermal strain in EB exposure by forming a diamond-like carbon layer to the thickness at which the light of the wavelength reflected from the surface thereof and the light of the wavelength reflected from the boundary face between the layer and absorbent layer have anti-phases from each other. CONSTITUTION:The diamond-like carbon layer is coated on a light absorbent pattern to decrease the surface reflection and a graphitic carbon is used as the light absorbent to solve the problem of the toxicity of the material. For example, the pattern of the graphite layer 2 is formed on a glass substrate 1 and the diamond-like carbon film 3 is deposited thereon. The graphite layer is formed to 1,000Angstrom thickness and the diamond-like carbon film is deposited to 500Angstrom thickness. After these two layers of the films are formed, a photoresist is coated thereon and a mask pattern is formed by EB exposure. The patterning of these layers is easily executed by dry etching.

Further, the reflectance is 20 to 30%, and it is difficult to say that it has sufficient characteristics as a light absorber.
