Abstract

An X-ray mask which is provided with an alignment mark and a transfer circuit pattern having a high position accuracy can be manufactured through a simplified manufacturing process. A membrane allowing passage of X-rays is formed on a substrate. A X-ray absorber intercepting transmission of X-rays is formed on the membrane. The substrate includes a window exposing the membrane. The X-ray absorber includes a transfer circuit pattern and an alignment mark formed in a region not overlapping with the window in a plan view.
