Abstract

A reflective mask blank comprises a substrate; a multilayer reflective film which is formed on the substrate and reflects EUV light; and a layered film which is formed on the multilayer reflective film. The layered film has an absolute reflectance of 2.5% or less with respect to EUV light, and comprises a first layer and a second layer formed on the first layer; and the first layer comprises a phase shift film which shifts the phase of EUV light. Alternatively, the layered film is a phase shift film which comprises a first layer and a second layer formed on the first layer, and which shifts the phase of EUV light; and the first layer comprises an absorption layer that has an absolute reflectance of 2.5% or less with respect to EUV light.
