Description

ABSTRACT:
A light-shielding pattern including light-shielding regions and an aperture therebetween is formed on a substrate. The substrate and the light-shielding pattern are then coated with conductive film. The conductive film is thereafter patterned, defining a conductive pattern. Next, a phase-shifting film and a resist film are deposited in this order on the substrate, the light-shielding pattern and the conductive pattern. Following this, a light beam is illuminated toward the bottom surface of the substrate and developed, thereby defining a resist pattern. The phase-shifting film is thereafter selectively etched with the resist pattern as an etching mask. As a result, a phase-shifter is obtained. Thus, the conductive pattern not only acts as an etching stopper but also prevents the substrate from getting charged. Hence, a phase-shifting mask is manufactured accurately.
