Abstract
A reflection type photomask includes a substrate, and a reflecting surface formed on the substrate and including a first region and a second region which have a relative height difference. Due to the concavo-convex structure of the reflecting surface, a light reflected from the first region and a light reflected from the second region have a predetermined phase difference which may be used effectively to form a pattern on a photoresist layer.
