得到形成有相當於上述第一標記A、B、C、D的遮光膜圖案 的光罩(參照第2(c)圖)。 其次’藉由得到的光罩的圖案檢查發現需要修正的黑 、陷的障況,在上述先罩上形成另一個光阻膜,再根據對 應上述黑缺陷的描繪圖案資料進行圖案描繪,描繪後顯影 而形成光阻圖案4 (參照第2(d)圖)。 本實施形態之中,上述光阻圖案4所含的第二標記, 係分別對應上述第一標記A ' B、c、D,而使用4種類的圖

形成的光阻圓案4形成後,進行檢查,當對準誤差的大小 超過容許範圍時,能夠去除上述光阻圖案4,藉由再一次光 阻膜形成、進行描繪(光阻圖案的重做),而進行修正。 如上所述’視需要在上述光阻圖案4的形成後進行檢 13 201028789 查後·’將含有上述第二標記的光阻圖案4作為蝕刻罩幕, 蝕刻遮光膜2(參照第2(e)囷),去除殘存的光阻圖案,可 形成相當於第一標記a、b、c、d與第二標記a、b、c、d(的 組合)的膜圖案(參照第2(f)囷)。 在此最終步驟後,進行對準誤差的檢查的情況,如第3 圖所示,例如在X方向,測定相當於第一標記的c的遮光 膜圖案的邊緣與相當於第二標記的c的遮光膜圖案的邊緣 的距離nk與nc,再以(ΙΠ(;_ηε)/2評價對準誤差的大小,並檢 查此值疋否在預先設定的既定範圍(容許範圍)内。再者,

201028789 圖案成套使用也適合。特別是在藉由第2次描繪的光阻圖 案4形成後的階段進行檢查的情況,是在基板上承載著光 阻阖案的狀態下進行檢查,所以光阻的透過率也會影響。 再者’反射光與透過光的任一者的測定方面,藉由是否測 定精度較高(是否藉由任一情況可得到較高的對比),由於 在測定時可選擇測定容易的標記的圖案,所以較佳。視情 況’可在反射光、透過光的兩者進行檢查。 φ

method can correct a small black defect 201028789. In the case of a large black defect area, it is very time-consuming to correct by the conventional black defect correction method. Further, in the conventional black defect correction method, the splashed foreign matter tends to adhere to the normal portion (light transmitting portion) around the defect, and it is necessary to correct it again. In view of the above-described circumstances, it is a first object of the present invention to provide a method of manufacturing a mask having a defect correcting step and a mask which can efficiently and accurately perform even large black defects. ❹Fixed. A second object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a photomask and a photomask, which can quantitatively evaluate an alignment error generated in a defect correction stage of a photomask. In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following constitution. (Configuration 1) A method of manufacturing a photomask comprising the steps of preparing a mask blank having a light-shielding film formed on a transparent substrate; and patterning a photoresist film formed on the light-shielding film to form a photoresist pattern; The step of forming the light-shielding film by using the above-mentioned photoresist pattern as a mask to form a light-shielding film; and performing the defect inspection of the formed light-shielding film pattern, and correcting the defective portion in the presence of black defects caused by the residue The method of modifying the boring tool includes: a step of designating the defective portion; a step of forming another photoresist film on the reticle; and an erbium region including the defect portion, according to the designation based on the Depicting the position and shape of the defect portion, depicting the data, drawing, and then developing to form a correction photoresist pattern; applying the above-mentioned correction light pattern as a mask to etch 201028789 ^ to remove the defect portion (4) the above-mentioned photoresist mask mark, the correction resist pattern includes a second mark, and the above correction After the formation of the barrier pattern, or at least any one of the steps of removing the residue of the defective portion, the step of performing the inspection includes the step of performing the inspection of the photoresist pattern after the correction. In the case where the distance between the edge of the light-shielding film pattern corresponding to the first mark and the edge of the second scratch of the correction resist pattern is measured, and the remaining portion of the defective portion is removed, the inspection is performed. And measuring the distance between the edge of the light-shielding film pattern corresponding to the first mark and the edge of the light-shielding film pattern corresponding to the second mark, and checking whether the distance is within a predetermined range. (Configuration 2) The method of manufacturing a photomask according to the first aspect, wherein the second mark formed by performing the step of correcting the first mark and performing the defect portion is formed on the transparent substrate A combination of the shape of the inside of one mark and the shape of the inside of the shape of another mark. (Aspect 3) The method of manufacturing a photomask according to the second aspect, wherein the first mark and the second mark have a symmetrical pattern in one direction and a direction perpendicular thereto. (Configuration 4) The manufacturing method of the reticle according to 2 or 3, wherein the shape of the second mark of the first _ music mark is a similar shape. (Claim 5) The method of manufacturing a photomask according to any one of the above items, wherein the first mark and the second mark each comprise a rectangular pattern. (Attachment 6) The method of manufacturing a reticle according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the illuminating step is performed by irradiating light to the reticle and receiving light transmitted therethrough. (Attachment 7) The method of manufacturing the reticle according to any one of the above 1 to 5, wherein the illuminating step is performed by illuminating the reticle and receiving light reflected by the reticle. a cover, which is a photomask having a light-shielding film on a transparent substrate, is characterized by using a photomask formed by forming a pattern on a transparent film formed on a transparent substrate by a (four) step (four) patterning step. The photomask has also been formed by the above-described drawing step, and the black mark formed by the defect of the light-shielding film pattern formed on the photomask by the first d'it formed on the mask is present. And correcting the defective portion by patterning including the above-described striking step, wherein the first mark and the second one of the tethers are included in the inside of the outer shape of the other mark The rectangular pattern is such that the distance between the first mark and the second mark formed by the light film or the photoresist film by patterning of the rubbing step including the defective portion is further examined by: Whether the distance is within 2 times of the established range Evaluation of the alignment error of the edge becomes possible 201028789 According to the manufacturing method of the reticle of the present invention, the defect inspection formed on the reticle film pattern is performed, and when there is a black defect caused by the residue, by the case including the drawing step The correction is made to correct the defective part, so even if it is a large black defect, the money is efficiently corrected. Further, in the case of correcting the black defect, although the drawing for forming the light-shielding film and the second drawing for correcting the sharp edge of the black defect are performed, the present invention includes the pair of quantitatively inspecting the second drawing. Since the inspection step of the quasi-error is performed, it is possible to evaluate whether or not an alignment error occurs in the correction stage of the black defect of the reticle and to quantitatively check the magnitude of the alignment error in the generated condition T. That is, a specific mark (first mark) is created at the time of drawing to form the first-person light-shielding film pattern, and a specific mark (second mark) is produced when the second black-defective pattern is corrected. And by using the distance between the marks, for example, the distance between the edges, to evaluate the alignment error of the drawing twice, the alignment (four) generated by the correction phase f of the black defect can be quantitatively checked. Furthermore, since the alignment error is evaluated during the manufacture of the mask, it is possible to perform possible correction (rework of the correction process) at this stage as needed, and even large black defects can be corrected efficiently and accurately. There are many advantages in curtain production. Further, by the mask of the present invention, defect inspection of the light-shielding film pattern formed on the photomask is performed by a specific mark (first mark) formed simultaneously with the formation of the light-shielding film case, when the residue is caused In the presence of a black defect, the size of the alignment error actually generated in the correction phase of the black defect can be quantitatively checked by correcting the defective portion by patterning including the greening step. That is, the above-mentioned first mark is in the relationship with the specific mark (second mark) formed on the light-shielding film when the black defect is corrected, and is the inside of the outer shape of one mark and the outer shape of the other mark. The graph # of the rectangle is included, and by evaluating the distance between the marks, for example, between the edges, the alignment error actually generated in the correction stage of the black defect can be quantitatively checked. The alignment error can be evaluated during the manufacturing process, so that it is possible to perform a possible correction (rework of the correction process, etc.) as needed. I. The following describes the best mode for carrying out the invention based on the drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 is a typical top view for explaining a manufacturing method of a photomask according to the present invention, in a step-by-step sequence. The mask blank used is a light-shielding film 2 mainly composed of chromium on the transparent substrate 1, and a photoresist is applied thereon to form a photoresist film. First, the photoresist film is subjected to a predetermined depiction of the case. The drawing usually uses electron lines or light (short-wavelength light), and in the present embodiment, an electron beam is used. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a positive photoresist is used as the photoresist. In the attack, a predetermined device is drawn on the photoresist film, and then developed by drawing to form a photoresist pattern 3 (see the first (a) circle). Further, a specific mark pattern is indicated while the above-described device pattern is being drawn. This particular bid pattern is used to evaluate the alignment error when the trace of the black defect correction is subsequently performed, for example, the area outside the area of the device pattern on which the substrate is formed. Therefore, the above-mentioned photoresist pattern includes the above-described drawing of the specific mark pattern and the mark (first mark) formed by development. The first mark will be described later in detail. Next, the light-shielding film 2 is etched by using the photoresist pattern 3 as an etching mask to form a light-shielding film pattern (see FIG. 1(b)). Since the light-shielding film 2' which is mainly composed of chromium in 201028789 parts is used, the etching method may be either dry etching or wet button etching. However, this embodiment utilizes wet etching. Thus, a mask having a predetermined light-shielding film case can be obtained in the transparent substrate & 1 (see Fig. 1(c)). As a result of the defect inspection of the defect inspection apparatus, the black mask 6 containing a small area and a large area as shown in Fig. 1(c) is present in a part of the mask. As shown in the above-mentioned Ka) and (5), this is, for example, a foreign matter 5 covering the opening of the photoresist pattern 3, and hinders the defects caused by the etching of the light-shielding film of the opening. It owes the black defect 6 or the normal drawing pattern data in the predetermined area including the position information and the shape information of the specific black defect 6 of the defect inspection. Next, for example, the same positive-change photoresist film is formed on the photomask as described above, and then the necessary information including the pattern data to be drawn is input to the drawing machine, and the black defect 6 is based on the above-mentioned drawing (4). Or patterning on a given area containing this. Next, the photoresist pattern 4 is formed after the development. Thereby, the photoresist film on the black defect 6 region is removed, and the light shielding film 2 is exposed (refer to the i-th (4) diagram). Further, at the same time as the step (4) is positioned, a predetermined alignment mark is used at a corner of the reticle or the like. Further, in the drawing for the second defect correction, a specific mark pattern is simultaneously drawn. The specific mark pattern is a pattern for evaluating the alignment error at the time of the second stroke by combining with the first mark, and is formed on, for example, a substrate as in the case of the first mark. The outer region of the pattern region is drawn so as to have a predetermined positional relationship with the first mark (from 201028789). Therefore, the photoresist pattern 4 includes marks formed by the second drawing and development described above (the second mark and the second mark are described in detail later), and the person uses the photoresist pattern 4 as a military screen to perform the last name. In the case of the chrome-shielding film, for example, dry etching or wet etching can be used. However, in this embodiment, wet etching can be performed by using a partial etching, in particular, by removing the black defect by the above etching. The transparent substrate 1 is exposed in the region without the need to shield the light-shielding film 2' (see Fig. 1(e)). Next, by removing the remaining photoresist pattern, the mask with the black missing m correction can be obtained (see First (f) 躅). Next, a method of inspecting an alignment error in the second fingerprinting for correcting the black defect will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a view for explaining the above embodiment. The cross-sectional circle (left half) and the top view (right half) of the step sequence of the specific mark pattern forming portion of the inspection method. The first of the photoresist patterns 3 for forming the above-mentioned light-shielding film pattern (mask pattern) Mark 'in this real In the form, four sets of pattern hearts B, C, and D are used as one set (see Fig. 2(a)). Any of A, B., C, and D is a rectangular pattern 'A is a small cage at the center. The photoresist pattern 'B of the open-cell (non-resistance) portion is a photoresist pattern having a small rectangular shape at the center, c is a pattern having a rectangular portion having a predetermined width, and D is a large rectangle at the center. Pattern of the opening portion. The following steps are exactly the same as those of the above-mentioned Fig. 1. That is, the photoresist pattern 3 containing the first mark as described above is used as an etching mask, and the light shielding film 2 is etched (see 2(b))), removing the remaining photoresist pattern, 11 201028789 A mask having a light-shielding film pattern corresponding to the first marks A, B, C, and D is obtained (see FIG. 2(c)). Secondly, by the pattern inspection of the obtained photomask, it is found that the black and the trapping conditions that need to be corrected are formed, another photoresist film is formed on the first mask, and the pattern is drawn according to the pattern data corresponding to the black defect, and the image is drawn after the drawing. Development is performed to form the photoresist pattern 4 (see Fig. 2(d)). The second mark included in the photoresist pattern 4 corresponds to the first marks A' B, c, and D, and four types of patterns a, b, c, and d are used as one set (see the second (d). )) ea, b, c, d are all rectangular patterns, a is a rectangular pattern larger than the first mark A, b is a rectangular pattern larger than the first mark β, and c is the first A pattern of a rectangle having a small mark c, and d is a rectangular shape smaller than the first mark d. As described above, in the present embodiment, the first mark A, the second mark a, the first mark B, and the second mark b, The first mark c is used in combination with the second mark c, the first mark D and the second mark d. When the first mark and the second mark are formed on the transparent substrate, the shape of one of the marks is another blessing The shape of the interior contains the shape. Further, the first mark and the second mark have a pattern having a symmetrical shape in both the direction and the direction perpendicular thereto. Further, the outer shape of the first marks and the outer shape of the second marks are rectangular similar shapes, and the pattern data of the marks includes a rectangular pattern having a common center of gravity. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the first marks a, b, c, d, the second marks a, b, c, and d are formed on the transparent substrate, the respective combinations are on the surface of the transparent substrate. The side of the view is upward, with the edge of the first-th spear, 201028789, the edge of the edge, the edge of the second mark, and the edge of the edge of the first mark (in the case of the standard β C, c, D, d), or The edge of the second mark, the """ mark edge slow, Chu __ ΛΛ the edge of the mark edge of the second mark is arranged in the order (in the case of marks A, a, B, b) (refer to the second ( d) Figure). In the case where the black defect is formed, the edge of the film pattern corresponding to the first mark is measured by the second drawing after forming the light PH case 4 (see the second (4) figure). The alignment error at the second tracing is evaluated by checking whether the distance is within a predetermined range from the edge of the second mark among the photoresist patterns. In the case of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, in any of the four types of patterns, for example, the edge of the pattern of the light shielding film corresponding to the first mark A and the photoresist pattern 4 are measured in the X direction. The distance ^ and in' of the edge of the second mark a are evaluated as the magnitude of the alignment error, and it is checked whether the value is within a predetermined range (allowable range) set in advance. The combination of the first mark β and the second mark b, the first mark C and the second mark c, the first mark D and the second mark 4 are also examined in the same manner. Furthermore, the alignment error for the Y direction can be similarly evaluated. In the second (4) and third figures, the position of the mark is a preferred measurement of the present embodiment. As described above, after the resist pattern 4 formed by the second drawing for performing the black defect correction is formed, the inspection is performed, and when the magnitude of the alignment error exceeds the allowable range, the photoresist pattern 4 can be removed. The correction is performed by forming and performing drawing (rework of the photoresist pattern) again with the photoresist film. As described above, 'After the formation of the photoresist pattern 4 as needed, the inspection is performed 13 201028789. 'The photoresist pattern 4 including the second mark is used as an etching mask to etch the light shielding film 2 (refer to the second (e)囷), removing the remaining photoresist pattern to form a film pattern corresponding to the first marks a, b, c, d and the second marks a, b, c, d (refer to the second (f) 囷). After the final step, the alignment error is checked. As shown in FIG. 3, for example, in the X direction, the edge of the light shielding film pattern corresponding to the first mark c and the c corresponding to the second mark are measured. The distances nk and nc of the edges of the light-shielding film pattern are evaluated by (ΙΠ(;_ηε)/2, and the value of the alignment error is checked, and it is checked whether the value is within a predetermined range (allowable range) set in advance. The alignment error in the Υ direction can be similarly evaluated. In the second (f) diagram, the position indicating the 〇 mark is a preferred measurement position in the embodiment, and at the stage, the pattern is lost due to the pattern of the mark ( For example, the first mark A, the first mark b, and the second mark d), in the stage after the formation of the photoresist pattern 4 described above, can be inspected by the combination of the first mark and the second mark. Factor of CD (key size) error (reduction of pattern) 'In order to purely evaluate only the factor of alignment error, it is possible to detect the presence or absence of the alignment error in the direction of the X-axis and the Y-axis, respectively. Mark and second mark 'better on one side A circumferential shape having a symmetrical shape to both the direction and the direction perpendicular thereto (for example, the left-right symmetry 'up and down symmetry, and the first mark and the second mark are preferably arranged to be 'the distance between the edges can be measured with high precision. Further, the positional relationship of the first mark and the outer shape of the first mark are preferably similar in shape 'to make it easier to measure the distance between the first mark and the edge of the second mark. In the pattern for inspection described in the present embodiment, a plurality of 14 201028789 patterns are also used in a set, and in particular, the inspection is performed at a stage after the second pattern of the photoresist pattern 4 is formed, and is carried on the substrate. In the state where the photoresist is inspected, the transmittance of the photoresist is also affected. In addition, the measurement of either of the reflected light and the transmitted light is highly accurate (whether or not In this case, a high contrast can be obtained. Since it is possible to select a pattern of an easy-to-measure mark at the time of measurement, it is preferable to examine both the reflected light and the transmitted light as the case may be. In short, as in the present embodiment, in each product, a plurality of rounds for inspection marks (combination of the first mark and the second mark) may be used in combination, or one type to one type of _2 may be selected for each product. The first marks A, E, C, and D and the second marks a, b, c, and d used in the above embodiments are merely representative examples, and in order to achieve the effects of the present invention, the marks are used. The shape, the size, the combination of the first mark and the second mark, the positional relationship thereof, and the like are of course not limited to the above-described embodiments. 〈# is explained by the above embodiment. According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. a defect inspection of the light-shielding film pattern formed on the photomask, and when the black defect caused by the residue exists, the defect portion is corrected by the surface formation including the drawing step, so that even a large black defect can be Correctly improved. (2) In the case of performing black defect correction, although the drawing for forming the light shielding film pattern and the drawing of the black defect are performed, the present invention can quantitatively check the actual value in the correction stage of the black defect of the mask. The resulting pair of 15 201028789 quasi-error size. In other words, a mark (first mark) specific for drawing when forming the first light-shielding film pattern and a mark (second mark) for correcting the second black defect are separately produced, and then borrowed. The alignment error of the second drawing is evaluated by the distance between the marks, for example, the distance between the edges, and the alignment error actually generated in the correction stage of the black defect can be quantitatively checked. (3) Furthermore, since the alignment error can be evaluated during the manufacturing of the mask, it is possible to perform possible correction at this stage (rework of the correction process, etc.) even if it is a large black defect, there may be It is highly efficient and accurate, and it has many advantages. The present invention has been described above with reference to preferred embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention can be variously modified in the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
