Abstract

A phase shift mask has a phase shifter formed on a substrate which is transmissive to exposure light. The phase shifter serving as a second light transmissive region is constructed of gadolinium gallium garnet. The shifter film formed under the sputtering conditions capable of restraining the generation of particles causing film defects is homogeneous, and the phase shift mask is of high precision.
