Abstract

See full text

A photomask includes a transparent substrate, and a light shield provided to the transparent substrate. The light shield includes a translucent mask pattern opening, and the mask pattern opening includes a plurality of translucent regions which are provided to a periphery of a region corresponding to a desired pattern, and allow exposure light beams to be transmitted at at least three different phases. Each of the plurality of translucent region spaced apart from the region corresponding to the desired pattern, advances more toward an exposure object spaced a predetermined distance apart compared to a phase plane of an exposure light beam transmitted through a translucent region of the plurality of translucent regions, the translucent region close to the region corresponding to the desired pattern, such that the exposure light beams that are transmitted through the mask pattern opening form a projection image of the desired pattern on the exposure object.
