TLDR
In this article, a photomask for inspecting the birefringence of a projection lens is provided with: a transparent substrate 10; a pattern of a light shielding film 11 having a window part and formed on the surface of the transparent substrate; and a second inspection pattern 14 disposed so as to be separated from the first inspection pattern 13 by a fixed distance in the window part, and polarizing the illumination light into a second polarized state.Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photomask for inspecting the birefringence of a projection lens. SOLUTION: The photomask is provided with: a transparent substrate 10; a pattern of a light shielding film 11 having a window part and formed on the surface of the transparent substrate 10; a first inspection pattern 13 disposed in the window part and polarizing illumination light into a first polarized state; and a second inspection pattern 14 disposed so as to be separated from the first inspection pattern 13 by a fixed distance in the window part and polarizing the illumination light into a second polarized state different from the first polarized state.
