性を回復している。That is, a photomask substrate is produced by coating a light-shielding film such as a Cr film on a light-transmitting substrate, and a resist-coated photomask substrate is produced by coating the light-shielding film with a resist. In order to form a latent image of a predetermined resist pattern on the resist, the resist is exposed to light using an electron beam drawing device or the like, and then developed with a developer for a predetermined time to form a predetermined residual resist pattern on the light-shielding crotch. Next, rinsing is performed using a rinsing solution different from the developer. After that, this photomask substrate is rotated at high speed and dried by a spin drying method in which the rinsing liquid is removed by centrifugal force, and then post-baked using a clean oven, hot plate, etc. The rinsing liquid that was in the condition is removed, and the adhesion between the remaining resist pattern and the underlying light-shielding film is restored.
