Abstract

See full text

A technique of forming an asymmetric pattern by using a phase shift mask, and further, techniques of manufacturing a diffraction grating and a semiconductor device, capable of improving accuracy of a product and capable of shortening manufacturing time. In a method of manufacturing a diffraction grating by using a phase shift mask (in which a light shield part and a light transmission part are periodically arranged), light emitted from an illumination light source is transmitted through the phase shift mask, and a photoresist on a surface of a Si wafer is exposed by providing interference between zero diffraction order light and positive first diffraction order light which are generated by the transmission through this phase shift mask onto the surface of the Si wafer, and a diffraction grating which has a blazed cross-sectional shape is formed on the Si wafer.
