ABSTRACT:
A mask pattern is transferred at a high resolution regardless of the configuration of a light shielding region. A plurality of light shielding members are disposed on a transparent substrate spaced from and parallel to each other. A main phase shifting film is formed in every other region between adjacent light shielding members on the transparent substrate in a direction along the arrangement of the light shielding members. At the periphery of the main phase shifting film, an auxiliary phase shifting film is disposed. Light through the main phase shifting film is 180 degrees out of phase from light through the transparent substrate while light through the auxiliary phase shifting film is 90 degrees out of phase from light through the transparent substrate. Due to the auxiliary phase shifting film, the intensity of transmitted light would not drop to zero at a border region between the main phase shifting film and the transparent substrate. Hence, the mask pattern is transferred at an enhanced transfer accuracy.
