Patent attributes
A mask pattern 40 including a light-shielding portion 41 constituted by a light-shielding film made of a chromium film or the like and phase shifters 42 and 43 is formed on a transparent substrate 30. The phase shifters 42 and 43 generate a phase difference of 180 degrees with respect to exposure light between the phase shifters and the transparent substrate 30. A first light intensity generated in a light-shielded image formation region corresponding to the mask pattern 40 on an exposed material by the exposure light transmitted through the phase shifters 42 and 43 is not more than four times a second light intensity generated in the light-shielded image formation region by the exposure light that is transmitted through the periphery of the mask pattern 40 on the transparent substrate 30 and goes into the back side of the mask pattern 40.
