Photomask, method for producing the same, and method for forming pattern using the photomask
First Claim
1. A photomask on a transparent substrate comprising:
- a first phase shifter having a semi-light-shielding property with respect to exposure light;
a second phase shifter surrounded by the first phase shifter and having a light-transmitting property with respect to exposure light; and
an opening surrounded by the first phase shifter and positioned in a periphery of the second phase shifter,wherein the first phase shifter and the second phase shifter transmit the exposure light in a same phase, andthe opening transmits the exposure light in a phase opposite to that of the first phase shifter and the second phase shifter.

Abstract
A photomask includes a semi-light-shielding portion having a light-shielding property, a light-transmitting portion surrounded by the semi-light-shielding portion and a peripheral portion positioned in a periphery of the light-transmitting portion on a transparent substrate. The semi-light-shielding portion and the light-transmitting portion transmit the exposure light in the same phase each other, whereas the peripheral portion transmits the exposure light in a phase opposite to that of the light-transmitting portion. A phase shift film that transmits the exposure light in a phase opposite to that of the peripheral portion is formed on the transparent substrate-in the semi-light-shielding portion formation region.
