ABSTRACT:
A phase shift mask of the present invention includes a quartz substrate transmitting exposure light, a transmitting film having a predetermined transmittance formed on the main surface of quartz substrate, a light transmitting portion from which quartz substrate is exposed is formed in a predetermined region, and a phase shifter portion formed of a single material on light transmitting film converting the phase angle by approximately 180.degree. and having a transmittance of 3-20% with respect to the exposure light transmitted through light transmitting portion. As a result, a defect generated in the phase shifter portion can be easily detected with an ordinary defect inspection apparatus without deteriorating the phase shifter portion as a phase shift mask.
