Abstract

The present invention provides a mask having a plurality of elongate openings formed in a substrate, including: a plurality of reinforcement portions having a thickness smaller than a thickness of the substrate and bridging the openings across a longitudinal direction thereof on one side of the substrate; and a recess portion having a step formed by excavating an area around the openings on each side of the reinforcement portions along the longitudinal direction. The mask accordingly achieves and retains high mechanical strength without increasing the mask thickness.
