Summary:To optimize the cross-sectional shape and suppress side etching in a mask blank.SOLUTION: A mask blank 10A includes a layer serving as a phase shift mask. The mask blank includes a mask layer 12 that is laminated on a transparent substrate 11, has phase-shift capabilities and contains chromium. The mask layer contains oxygen and nitrogen. On a surface 12A of the mask layer that is remote from the transparent substrate, the compositional ratio of oxygen to nitrogen, O/N, is 20 or more.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】断面形状の適正化とサイドエッチングの抑制を図る。【解決手段】位相シフトマスクとなる層を有するマスクブランクス10Aであって、透明基板11に積層された位相シフト能を有しクロムを含有するマスク層12を有し、マスク層が酸素および窒素を含有するとともに、マスク層の前記透明基板から離間する側の表面12Aにおいて窒素に対する酸素の組成比O/Nが、20以上とされる。【選択図】図1
