Abstract

A reflective mask blank includes a substrate; a multilayer reflective film that reflects EUV light; and a phase shift film that shifts a phase of the EUV light, in this order. The phase shift film contains a compound containing ruthenium (Ru) and an element X2 different from Ru. A melting point MP1 of an oxide of the compound and a melting point MP2 of a fluoride or an oxyfluoride of the compound satisfy a relation of 0.625MP1+MP2≤1000.
