[發明所欲解決之問題] 伴隨著移動終端等之市場急遽擴大,對液晶顯示裝置(以下簡稱為「LCD」)等平板顯示器(以下簡稱為「FPD」)製品不斷推進像素密度之增加動向。又,強烈期望顯示畫面之解像性、明亮度、省電、動作速度等進一步之性能提昇。 作為用於LCD之彩色濾光片(以下簡稱為「CF」)基板,已知有如下者:於透明基板上排列與各像素電極對應之三原色濾光片(紅色濾光片、綠色濾光片、及藍色濾光片),於各濾光片之間設置有作為遮光部分之黑矩陣(以下簡稱為「BM」)。BM將例如液晶顯示元件之源極佈線、或像素電極與源極佈線之間之間隙等般無助於圖像之顯示之部分遮蔽。為了使液晶顯示更明亮,較理想為儘可能地減少BM之遮光部分,即,使BM之線寬微細化。 圖19(a)係表示彩色濾光片之構成例之模式圖。此處所示之彩色濾光片之圖案中,於1個像素(P單位圖案)排列有相互呈相同形狀之3個子像素(SP單位圖案)。3個子像素分別與R(Red)、G(Green)、B(Blue)之彩色濾光片對應。各子像素形成為長方形,且以固定節距規則地排列。 各子像素由BM劃分。BM相互交叉並且形成為格子狀。又,具有上述3種顏色之子像素之1個像素係以固定節距規則地排列,藉此,形成重複圖案。 伴隨著上述BM之微細化動向,於具備用以形成BM之轉印用圖案之光罩中,亦產生微細化之需要。然而,若僅單純地縮小光罩所具備之圖案之尺寸,則會產生以下不良情況。 於製造CF時,應用如下方法:利用近接曝光方式之曝光裝置(近接曝光裝置)將光罩之轉印用圖案主要曝光於負型之感光材料。將既有(微細化前)之BM形成用光罩之圖案例示於圖19(b),將為了形成更高精細之BM而使上述光罩之圖案微細化後之圖案例示於圖19(c)。此種圖案之微細化於例如將300 ppi(pixel per inch,每英吋像素)左右之CF轉換為超過400 ppi之更微細之規格般之情況下變得必要。 於使用具備圖19(c)之圖案之光罩於CF基板上轉印BM之圖案,而製造CF之情形時,較理想為獲得如圖20(a)所示之BM之轉印像。然而,現實中轉印至CF基板之BM之轉印像如圖20(b)所示般,產生如下等問題:BM之寬度未充分地微細化(參照圖中Z1部分),又,子像素之開口之角(參照圖中Z2部分)帶有弧度。由此,實際上難以獲得理想之CF圖案。 根據上述專利文獻1所記載之技術,關於BM之線寬之微細化,獲得了一定之效果。另一方面,於形成用以製造更有利之CF的BM時,子像素之開口之角之弧度等留有進一步改良之餘地。認為其原因在於:於近接曝光時,因在光罩與被轉印體之間之間隙(即,近接間隙)產生之繞射光,導致形成複雜之光強度分佈,形成於被轉印體上之轉印像無法忠實地再現光罩之圖案。 根據發明者等人之研究,判明了如下情況:根據光罩之圖案之設計,透過光罩之光到達至被轉印體(此處為CF基板)上時會受到繞射作用之影響而於意想不到之位置產生光強度之局部增加或者局部減少,從而形成與光罩之圖案為不同形狀之光強度分佈。因此,可知難以形成忠實於光罩之圖案設計的BM,又,上述傾向因圖案之微細化而變得更顯著。 另一方面,為了控制導致上述問題之近接間隙中之繞射光,考慮充分地縮窄近接間隙或者根本性地變更光學條件(曝光光源波長等)。然而,若考慮CF製造之生產效率、成本效率,則使用某種程度之大型之光罩(一邊之大小為300 mm以上,較佳為400~2000 mm左右)較為有利。而且,若為了近接曝光而保持該程度之尺寸之光罩,則充分(例如30 μm以上,較佳為40 μm以上)地確保近接間隙於穩定地生產CF方面較為理想。又,近接曝光方式與投影曝光方式相比,生產成本低係較大之優點,若變更光學條件等裝置構成,則有顯著損害該優點之顧慮。 本發明之目的在於提供一種於利用近接曝光方式將光罩之轉印用圖案轉印於被轉印體上之情形時,可轉印忠實於作為目標之器件之圖案設計之高精細圖案的光罩、及顯示裝置之製造方法。 [解決問題之技術手段] (第1態樣) 本發明之第1態樣係一種光罩,其特徵在於:其係於透明基板上具備用以於被轉印體上形成黑矩陣之轉印用圖案的近接曝光用光罩,且 上述轉印用圖案係 於將沿第1方向延伸之圖案形成區域設為第1圖案形成區域,將沿與上述第1方向交叉之第2方向延伸之圖案形成區域設為第2圖案形成區域,將上述第1圖案形成區域與上述第2圖案形成區域交叉之區域設為交叉區域時,具備: 第1狹縫圖案,其係形成於上述第1圖案形成區域之實質上包含透光部之狹縫圖案,且具有固定寬度W1之部分; 第2狹縫圖案,其係形成於除上述交叉區域以外之上述第2圖案形成區域之實質上包含半透光部之狹縫圖案,且具有較上述固定寬度W1更小之固定寬度W2之部分;及 輔助圖案,其係不獨立地解像之圖案,且調整形成於上述被轉印體上之上述黑矩陣像之形狀。 (第2態樣) 本發明之第2態樣係如上述第1態樣之光罩,其特徵在於: 上述輔助圖案包含一對凸部, 該一對凸部係在上述第2狹縫圖案之寬度方向之兩側局部地突出而形成,且包含半透光部。 (第3態樣) 本發明之第3態樣係如上述第2態樣之光罩,其特徵在於: 上述一對凸部抑止於對上述轉印用圖案進行近接曝光時,上述第2狹縫圖案於上述被轉印體上形成之轉印像之光強度分佈中之光強度之局部降低,使上述第2狹縫圖案之透過光強度均勻化。 (第4態樣) 本發明之第4態樣係如上述第1至第3態樣中任一態樣之光罩,其特徵在於: 上述輔助圖案包含擴展部, 該擴展部係自上述第2狹縫圖案之出口至少沿上述第2方向擴展而形成,且包含半透光部。 (第5態樣) 本發明之第5態樣係如上述第4態樣之光罩,其特徵在於: 上述擴展部增加於對上述轉印用圖案進行近接曝光時上述第2狹縫圖案於上述被轉印體上形成之轉印像中之角部之曲率。 (第6態樣) 本發明之第6態樣係如上述第1至第5態樣中任一態樣之光罩,其特徵在於: 上述輔助圖案包含孤立圖案, 該孤立圖案位於在上述第1方向上相鄰之2個上述交叉區域之中間而形成於上述第1圖案形成區域,且包含半透光部或遮光部。 (第7態樣) 本發明之第7態樣係如上述第6態樣之光罩,其特徵在於: 上述孤立圖案抑止於對上述轉印用圖案進行近接曝光時,上述第1狹縫圖案於上述被轉印體上形成之轉印像之光強度分佈中之光強度之局部之峰值,使上述第1狹縫圖案之透過光強度均勻化。 (第8態樣) 本發明之第8態樣係如上述第6或第7態樣之光罩,其特徵在於: 上述孤立圖案之形狀為矩形。 (第9態樣) 本發明之第9態樣係一種顯示裝置之製造方法,其特徵在於包括如下步驟: 準備如上述第1至第8態樣中任一態樣之光罩;及 使用近接曝光裝置將上述轉印用圖案轉印於上述被轉印體上。 [發明之效果] 根據本發明,於利用近接曝光方式將光罩之轉印用圖案轉印於被轉印體上之情形時,可轉印忠實於作為目標之器件之圖案設計的高精細圖案。藉此,例如於將CF基板作為被轉印體而形成BM之情形時,可將高精細之BM形成於被轉印體,因此,可有助於高性能之CF之製造。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] With the rapid expansion of the market for mobile terminals and the like, flat-panel display (hereinafter referred to as "FPD") products such as liquid crystal display devices (hereinafter referred to as "LCD") are continuously promoting the increase in pixel density. In addition, further improvements in the resolution, brightness, power saving, and operation speed of the display screen are strongly desired. As a color filter (hereinafter referred to as "CF") substrate for an LCD, it is known to arrange three primary color filters (red filter, green filter) corresponding to each pixel electrode on a transparent substrate. , And blue filters), and a black matrix (hereinafter referred to as "BM") as a light-shielding portion is provided between the filters. The BM shields, for example, a portion of a liquid crystal display element that has a source wiring or a gap between a pixel electrode and a source wiring that does not contribute to the display of an image. In order to make the liquid crystal display brighter, it is desirable to reduce the light-shielding portion of the BM as much as possible, that is, to make the line width of the BM finer. FIG. 19 (a) is a schematic diagram showing a configuration example of a color filter. In the pattern of the color filter shown here, three sub-pixels (SP unit pattern) having the same shape as each other are arranged in one pixel (P unit pattern). The three sub-pixels correspond to color filters of R (Red), G (Green), and B (Blue), respectively. Each sub-pixel is formed in a rectangle and is regularly arranged at a fixed pitch. Each sub-pixel is divided by a BM. The BMs intersect each other and are formed in a lattice shape. One of the sub-pixels having the three colors is regularly arranged at a fixed pitch, thereby forming a repeating pattern. With the miniaturization trend of the above-mentioned BM, a need exists for a miniaturization in a photomask provided with a pattern for transferring the BM. However, if the size of the pattern included in the photomask is simply reduced, the following disadvantages occur. In the manufacture of CF, the following method is applied: The exposure pattern (proximity exposure apparatus) of the proximity exposure method is mainly used to expose the transfer pattern of the photomask to a negative-type photosensitive material. An example of a pattern of an existing (before miniaturization) mask for BM formation is shown in FIG. 19 (b), and an example of the pattern of the above-mentioned mask pattern to form a finer BM is shown in FIG. 19 (c ). The miniaturization of such a pattern becomes necessary when, for example, a CF of about 300 ppi (pixel per inch) is converted to a finer specification exceeding 400 ppi. When a BM pattern is transferred on a CF substrate using a photomask having the pattern of FIG. 19 (c), and when CF is manufactured, it is preferable to obtain a transfer image of BM as shown in FIG. 20 (a). However, in reality, the transfer image of the BM transferred to the CF substrate is as shown in FIG. 20 (b), which causes the following problems: the width of the BM is not sufficiently miniaturized (see the Z1 part in the figure), and the sub-pixels The corner of the opening (refer to the part Z2 in the figure) has radians. Therefore, it is actually difficult to obtain an ideal CF pattern. According to the technique described in the aforementioned Patent Document 1, a certain effect is obtained regarding the miniaturization of the line width of the BM. On the other hand, when forming a BM for making a more favorable CF, the radian of the corners of the openings of the sub-pixels and the like have room for further improvement. The reason is believed to be that: during close-up exposure, due to the diffracted light generated in the gap between the mask and the transferee (ie, the close-up gap), a complex light intensity distribution is formed, which is formed on the transferee. The transferred image cannot faithfully reproduce the pattern of the photomask. According to the research by the inventors, it is clear that according to the design of the mask pattern, the light passing through the mask will be affected by the diffraction effect when it reaches the object to be transferred (here, the CF substrate). Unexpected locations produce a local increase or decrease in light intensity, thereby forming a light intensity distribution that is different in shape from the pattern of the photomask. Therefore, it can be seen that it is difficult to form a BM that is faithful to the pattern design of the photomask, and that the above-mentioned tendency becomes more prominent due to the miniaturization of the pattern. On the other hand, in order to control the diffracted light in the proximity gap that causes the above problem, it is considered to sufficiently narrow the proximity gap or to fundamentally change the optical conditions (exposure light source wavelength, etc.). However, if the production efficiency and cost efficiency of CF manufacturing are considered, it is advantageous to use a large-scale mask (the size of one side is 300 mm or more, preferably about 400 to 2000 mm). In addition, if a mask having such a size is maintained for close exposure, it is desirable to ensure a close gap sufficiently (for example, 30 μm or more, preferably 40 μm or more) for stable production of CF. In addition, the proximity exposure method has the advantage of lower production cost than the projection exposure method. If the device configuration such as optical conditions is changed, there is a concern that this advantage is significantly impaired. An object of the present invention is to provide a light capable of transferring a high-definition pattern faithful to a pattern design of a target device in a case where a pattern for transfer of a photomask is transferred to a transfer object by a proximity exposure method. Manufacturing method of cover and display device.

When the formation area is a second pattern formation area, and when the area where the first pattern formation area and the second pattern formation area intersect is an intersection area, the first slit pattern is formed in the first pattern formation. The region substantially includes a slit pattern of the light-transmitting portion and has a portion having a fixed width W1. The second slit pattern is formed in the second pattern-forming region other than the above-mentioned intersection region and substantially includes semi-transmission. Part of the slit pattern, and a part having a fixed width W2 smaller than the fixed width W1; and an auxiliary pattern, which is a pattern that is not independently resolved, and adjusts the black moment formed on the transferee The shape of the array.

(Fourth aspect) The fourth aspect of the present invention is a photomask according to any one of the first to third aspects, characterized in that the auxiliary pattern includes an extension portion, and the extension portion is from the first aspect. The exit of the 2 slit pattern is formed by expanding in at least the second direction, and includes a semi-transmissive portion. (Fifth aspect) The fifth aspect of the present invention is the photomask according to the fourth aspect described above, wherein the expansion portion is added to the second slit pattern at the time of close exposure to the transfer pattern.

It is formed in the first pattern forming region between two adjacent intersecting regions adjacent in one direction, and includes a translucent portion or a light-shielding portion. (Seventh aspect) The seventh aspect of the present invention is the photomask according to the sixth aspect, wherein the isolated pattern is restricted to the first slit pattern when the transfer pattern is subjected to close exposure. The local peak of the light intensity in the light intensity distribution of the transfer image formed on the transferred object makes the transmitted light intensity of the first slit pattern uniform. (Eighth aspect) The eighth aspect of the present invention is the photomask according to the sixth or seventh aspect, wherein the shape of the isolated pattern is rectangular. (Ninth aspect) A ninth aspect of the present invention is a method for manufacturing a display device, which is characterized by including the following steps: preparing a photomask as in any one of the first to eighth aspects; and using a proximity The exposure device transfers the transfer pattern onto the transfer target.

第1狹縫圖案1及第2狹縫圖案2分別形成於對應之圖案形成區域。具體而言,如圖3所示,於將沿第1方向延伸之圖案形成區域設為第1圖案形成區域E1、將沿與第1方向交叉之第2方向延伸之圖案形成區域設為第2圖案形成區域E2、將第1圖案形成區域E1與第2圖案形成區域E2交叉之區域(圖中,施加有影線之區域)設為交叉區域E3時,第1狹縫圖案1形成於第1圖案形成區域E1,第2狹縫圖案2形成於除交叉區域E3以外之第2圖案形成區域E2。此處,作為一例,將X方向(橫向)設為第1方向,將Y方向(縱向)設為第2方向。於此情形時,第1圖案形成區域E1與第2圖案形成區域E2以相互呈直角交叉之形式形成為格子狀。 第1狹縫圖案1係將X方向設為長度方向、將Y方向設為寬度方向而形成之狹縫狀之圖案,且於Y方向上以特定之節距P1排列。第2狹縫圖案2係將X方向設為寬度方向、將Y方向設為長度方向而形成之狹縫狀之圖案,且於X方向上以特定之節距P2排列。遮光圖案3係由第1狹縫圖案1及第2狹縫圖案2包圍之圖案。再者,圖1表示光罩之轉印用圖案之一部分,實際上第1狹縫圖案1與第2狹縫圖案2分別以特定之節距P1、P2之重複週期形成。 第1狹縫圖案1包含透明基板30之表面露出所得之透光部22。第2狹縫圖案2包含在透明基板30上成膜半透光膜31而形成之半透光部21。半透光膜31係使曝光之光之一部分透過之半透光性之膜。遮光圖案3包含在透明基板30上成膜遮光膜32而形成之遮光部23。再者,於圖2中,遮光部23成為依序積層半透光膜31與遮光膜32而成之積層膜,但積層順序亦可相反,又,亦可為遮光膜32之單層膜。 圖4(a)係模式性地表示於使用近接曝光裝置對上述參考形態之光罩之轉印用圖案進行曝光時於被轉印體上獲得之轉印像之光強度分佈的俯視圖。又,圖4(b)係表示藉由圖4(a)所示之光強度分佈而形成於被轉印體(負型感光材料)之BM像之俯視圖。於圖4(b)中,由與第1狹縫圖案1對應之第1BM圖案41、及與第2狹縫圖案2對應之第2BM圖案42包圍之部分成為與遮光圖案3對應之開口部43。又,以L1表示第1BM圖案41之線寬,以L2表示第2BM圖案42之線寬。 根據上述圖4(a)所示之光強度分佈,於利用光罩之轉印用圖案而於被轉印上獲得之轉印像之形狀中出現以下所述之3種現象。 (1)於第1圖案形成區域E1與第2圖案形成區域E2之交叉區域E3附近且第2狹縫圖案2之長度方向之端部(圖4(a)之A部)附近,出現曝光之光之光強度局部降低之較暗之點(以下稱為「光量降低點」)。因此處出現之光強度之降低,容易導致於形成於被轉印體上之BM像中,第2BM圖案42之線寬L2局部地小於設計值或根據情形會產生斷線。 (2)如圖4(b)所示,BM像之開口部43之角未成為直角而帶有弧度。進而,光量之等高線之形狀亦於光罩之轉印用圖案中作為直線之部分產生起伏而波動(圖4(a)之B部)。因此,形成於被轉印體上之BM像之開口部43之角變圓,開口面積減少。 (3)於第1狹縫圖案1中,於在X方向上相鄰之2個交叉區域E3之中間出現較強之光量峰值(圖4(a)之C部)。因此,透過第1狹縫圖案1之曝光之光之光強度產生不必要之強弱。因此,與第1狹縫圖案1對應地形成於被轉印體上之BM像局部地產生較強之硬化部分44,由此,存在BM之立體構造中產生凹凸之風險。 於現狀中,由圖案形狀因上述3種現象而劣化之轉印像導致於對被轉印體上之BM用感光材料進行感光而製造CF時可能會產生不良情況,消除該不良情況作為課題而明顯化。以下,將與因上述(1)之現象而產生之課題對應之實施形態設為第1實施形態,將與因上述(2)之現象而產生之課題對應之實施形態設為第2實施形態,將與因上述(3)之現象而產生之課題對應之實施形態設為第3實施形態而進行說明。 <第1實施形態> 首先,對上述(1)之現象進行研究。 圖5之(a)係將圖1所示之光罩之轉印用圖案之交叉區域周邊放大後之俯視圖,(b)係模式性地表示於利用近接曝光裝置對該轉印用圖案進行曝光時形成於被轉印體上之轉印像之光強度分佈的俯視圖。 於圖5(a)中,第1狹縫圖案1具有固定寬度W1之部分,第2狹縫圖案2具有固定寬度W2(其中,W2<W1)之部分。第1狹縫圖案1之固定寬度W1之部分與X方向平行,第2狹縫圖案2之固定寬度W2之部分與Y方向平行。 交叉區域E3係被劃分於在Y方向上相鄰之第2狹縫圖案2間之多邊形(圖5(a)中為四邊形)之區域。交叉區域E3於將在Y方向上介隔交叉區域E3而對向之第2狹縫圖案2之角部分別設為YE時,可特定為以直線將各個角部YE連結而成之多邊形之區域。關於某一個第2狹縫圖案2,將於X方向上成對之第2狹縫圖案2之角部YE以直線連結之線段相當於第2狹縫圖案2之出口。所謂第2狹縫圖案2之出口係指交叉區域E3與第2狹縫圖案2之交界且於第2方向(本形態中為Y方向)上與交叉區域E3相接之第2狹縫圖案2之端邊。第2狹縫圖案2之角部YE例如於交叉區域E3與第2狹縫圖案2之交界部分可特定為第2狹縫圖案2之線寬或邊緣形狀急遽地變化之彎曲部。 如上所述,第1狹縫圖案1包含透光部22,第2狹縫圖案2包含半透光部21。又,於圖5(a)中,為了表示交叉區域E3之範圍而施加有影線,但交叉區域E3成為第1狹縫圖案1之一部分。因此,交叉區域E3與第1狹縫圖案1同樣地包含使透明基板30露出而成之透光部22。再者,關於交叉區域E3,於圖5(a)以外之圖式中亦存在施加影線之情形。遮光圖案3係與BM之開口對應之圖案,且包含遮光部23。遮光圖案3以位於在X方向上相鄰之第2狹縫圖案2間並且位於在Y方向上相鄰之第1狹縫圖案1間之方式形成。 圖5(b)中,於與第2狹縫圖案2對應之部分,在自交叉區域E3與第2狹縫圖案2之交界於Y方向上隔開d1(μm)之距離之位置形成有光量降低點45。再者,於圖5(b)中,強調表現出在圖4(a)之A部產生之光量降低點。光量降低點45之形成於形成BM之步驟中如上述般會產生BM之線寬變細或斷線之風險,故而不佳。即,較理想為使透過第2狹縫圖案2之曝光之光於被轉印體上形成之光之強度更均勻化,結果獲得如圖6所示之理想之光強度分佈。再者,於圖6所示之光強度分佈中,未產生光量降低點45。 因此,本發明者等人研究了導入輔助圖案,該輔助圖案可提高藉由第1狹縫圖案1及第2狹縫圖案2而形成於被轉印體上之BM之轉印像之光強度之均勻性。該輔助圖案係於使用近接曝光裝置將光罩之轉印用圖案轉印於被轉印體上之情形時不獨立地解像之圖案。此處所謂「不獨立地解像之圖案」係指於顯示裝置製造用曝光裝置之曝光條件下,根據光罩之圖案中之CD及透過率,該圖案之轉印像不會以可識別之狀態形成於被轉印體上之圖案。CD係臨界尺寸(Critical Dimension)之簡稱,具有圖案寬度之意思。輔助圖案係以使形成於被轉印體上之BM像接近如圖6所示之理想之形狀為目的而導入之圖案,且發揮對形成於被轉印體上之BM像之形狀進行調整之輔助作用。 (第1實施形態之光罩) 圖7係表示本發明之第1實施形態之光罩所具備之轉印用圖案之構成例的俯視圖。 圖示之光罩可用作用以藉由以近接曝光方式進行曝光而於被轉印體上形成BM之光罩。該第1實施形態之光罩除轉印用圖案中包含輔助圖案以外,具備與上述圖1所示之參考形態之光罩相同之圖案。具體而言,具備轉印用圖案,該轉印用圖案包含:第1狹縫圖案1,其形成於第1圖案形成區域E1;第2狹縫圖案2,其形成於除交叉區域E3以外之第2圖案形成區域E2;及遮光圖案3,其由第1狹縫圖案1及第2狹縫圖案2包圍而成。 第1狹縫圖案1具有固定寬度W1(μm)之部分,第2狹縫圖案2具有較其更窄之固定寬度W2(μm)之部分。第1狹縫圖案1之Y方向之節距(重複週期)為P1(μm),第2狹縫圖案2之X方向之節距(重複週期)為P2(μm)。較佳為第1狹縫圖案1實質上包含透光部22,第2狹縫圖案2實質上包含半透光部21。透光部22可設為透明基板30露出所得者,半透光部21可於半透光膜31上成膜半透光膜31而形成。於將透明基板之曝光之光之透過率設為100%時,半透光部21之曝光之光之透過率較佳為30~70%,更佳為40~60%。又,半透光膜31相對於曝光之光之相位偏移量較佳為±90度以內,更佳為±60度以內。交叉區域E3實質上包含透光部22。 再者,於本實施形態中,所謂「實質上」之區域,於存在雖然不獨立地解像但為了提高BM之圖案之轉印性而導入之輔助圖案之情形時,指該輔助圖案以外之區域。例如,包括如下情形等:於包含透光部之第1狹縫圖案1內,如下述般將包含半透光部之孤立圖案作為輔助圖案導入。於此情形時,所謂第1狹縫圖案1「實質上」包含透光部之意思係指如下情形:於將包含透光部之第1狹縫圖案1與包含半透光部之輔助圖案相加所得之面積設為100%時,第1狹縫圖案1所占之面積為65%以上,較佳為80%以上。關於第2狹縫圖案2亦同樣地,所謂第2狹縫圖案2「實質上」包含半透光部之意思係指第2狹縫圖案2所占之面積為65%以上、較佳為80%以上之情形。又,所謂交叉區域E3實質上包含透光部之情形係指如下情形:例如,如下述第2實施形態中所述般,於將光學特性與交叉區域E3不同之輔助圖案導入至交叉區域E3內之情形時,除輔助圖案以外之部分成為透光部。 又,於第1狹縫圖案1與第2狹縫圖案2所形成之相當於格子窗之部分,分別形成有遮光圖案3。遮光圖案3包含在透明基板30上形成有遮光膜32之遮光部23。第1狹縫圖案1與第2狹縫圖案2構成與應形成於被轉印體上之BM對應之格子狀之圖案。又,由第1狹縫圖案1與第2狹縫圖案2包圍之遮光圖案3構成與BM之開口對應之圖案。於製造LCD之CF之情形時,於在透明之CF基板上形成BM之後,在BM之各開口部分分別形成對應之顏色(R、G、B)之濾光片。 再者,雖未圖示,但於光罩之轉印用圖案之外周附近可具有未形成遮光部之透光部。該透光部與液晶顯示裝置之顯示部分外緣之邊框區域對應,且具有寬於第1、第2狹縫圖案之充分寬度。 第1狹縫圖案1之固定寬度部分之寬度尺寸W1(μm)較佳為15≦W1≦40,第2狹縫圖案2之固定寬度部分之寬度尺寸W2(μm)較佳為4≦W2≦12。又,第1狹縫圖案1之節距P1(μm)較佳為400≦P1≦100,第2狹縫圖案2之節距P2(μm)較佳為10≦P2≦35。 再者,於本實施形態中,列舉第1圖案形成區域E1與第2圖案形成區域E2相互呈直角相交之情形為例進行了說明,但本發明並不限定於此。例如,第1圖案形成區域E1與第2圖案形成區域E2之交叉角度可設為90±45度以內,更佳為90±30度以內。於任一情形時,第1狹縫圖案1均形成於第1圖案形成區域E1,第2狹縫圖案2均形成於除交叉區域E3以外之第2狹縫圖案2。 又,第1狹縫圖案1亦可並非於所有部分均為固定寬度,只要具有W1之固定寬度部分即可。同樣地,第2狹縫圖案2亦可並非於所有部分均為固定寬度,只要具有W2之固定寬度部分即可。因此,例如,第1狹縫圖案1亦可具有寬度局部變寬之部分。又,較佳為第1狹縫圖案1及第2狹縫圖案2分別以長度之50%以上之比率具有上述固定寬度W1、W2之部分。 以下,使用圖7對本發明之第1實施形態之光罩之轉印用圖案所具備之輔助圖案進行說明。 於第2狹縫圖案2中,形成有一對凸部5作為輔助圖案。一對凸部5係於第2狹縫圖案2之寬度方向之兩側局部地突出而形成,藉此,第2狹縫圖案2之一部分成為線寬較其他部分寬之寬幅部6。各個凸部5係於X方向上以α1(μm)之凸出量、於Y方向上以β1(μm)之凸出寬度形成。一對凸部5形成於第2狹縫圖案2之寬度方向兩側之對應位置,較佳為於寬度方向上對稱地設置。又,一對凸部5較佳為形成於在Y方向上距交叉區域E3與第2狹縫圖案2之交界為等距離之位置。 由一對凸部5形成之寬幅部6較佳為配置於交叉區域E3之附近。具體而言,較佳為於Y方向上自交叉區域E3與第2狹縫圖案2之交界至寬幅部6之重心之距離D1為第2狹縫圖案2之長度(P1-W1)之1/4以內。於此情形時,上述距離D1之較佳之範圍為β1÷2≦D1≦0.25×(P1-W1)。又,距離D1較佳為滿足β1÷2<D1,即,凸部5和交叉區域E3與第2狹縫圖案2之交界隔開配置。 寬幅部6之寬度係以W2+(2×α1)表示。於此情形時,凸部5之凸出量α1較佳為0<α1≦0.3×W2,更佳為0.04×W2≦α1≦0.25×W2。又,凸部5之凸出寬度β1較佳為0<β1≦0.15×(P1-W1)。 根據本發明者等人之研究,確認了藉由在第2狹縫圖案2設置寬幅部6,可抑制上述光量降低點45(圖5(b))之形成。即,可知若對具備圖7之轉印用圖案之BM形成用光罩進行曝光,則如圖6所示般,於第2狹縫圖案2之轉印像中,光強度之下降被消除,從而光強度分佈均勻化。亦即,上述與無寬幅部6之情形相比,能夠使光強度分佈均勻化。 再者,於本實施形態中,於距交叉區域E3與第2狹縫圖案2之交界隔開距離D1之位置形成有寬幅部6,但以距離D1特定之寬幅部6之位置與圖5(b)所示之以距離d1特定之光量降低點45之位置未必一致。即,未必為D1=d1,亦存在成為D1>d1、或D1<d1之情形。寬幅部6之最佳位置、即第2狹縫圖案2之轉印像中之光強度分佈最穩定之寬幅部6之位置可藉由光學模擬而確認。 又,設置於第2狹縫圖案2之寬幅部6之個數並不限於1個。即,導入至第2狹縫圖案2之凸部5並不限於一對。例如,於交叉區域E3與第2狹縫圖案2之交界附近設置有寬幅部6之結果為,於第2狹縫圖案2之轉印像中,如圖8所示般,存在形成新的光量降低點45b之情形。光量降低點45b產生於在Y方向上距交叉區域E3與第2狹縫圖案2之交界隔開距離d2之位置。 因此,為了消除該光量下降而使第2狹縫圖案2之轉印像之光強度分佈更均勻,可如圖9所示般,除上述寬幅部6以外導入第二個寬幅部6b。寬幅部6b係藉由一對凸部5b而形成於第2狹縫圖案2。 於圖9所示之轉印用圖案中,於距交叉區域E3與第2狹縫圖案2之交界隔開D1(μm)之距離之位置設置有寬幅部(以下亦稱為「主寬幅部」)6,進而於距該交界隔開D2(μm)之距離之位置設置有寬幅部6b。於此情形時,Y方向之距離D2與上述距離D1同樣地表示自交叉區域E3與第2狹縫圖案2之交界至寬幅部6b之重心之距離,且滿足D2>D1之關係。又,寬幅部6中之凸部5之凸出量α1(μm)與寬幅部6b中之凸部5b之凸出量α2(μm)之關係較佳為α1≧α2,更佳為α1>α2。 於在第2狹縫圖案2僅設置寬幅部6之情形時、或者設置寬幅部6與寬幅部6b兩者之情形時,凸部5、5b之凸出形狀較佳為矩形。又,設置於第2狹縫圖案2之寬幅部6之個數亦可為3個以上。於此情形時,若按照距交叉區域E3與第2狹縫圖案2之交界由近及遠之順序將各個寬幅部6之凸出量設為α1、α2、α3、α4、・・・,則其等之關係較佳為α1≧α2≧α3≧α4・・・,更佳為α1>α2>α3>α4・・・。但是,該條件適用於自交叉區域E3與第2狹縫圖案2之交界至第2狹縫圖案2之長度方向之中間部的區間。 配置於第2狹縫圖案2之長度方向之一端至另一端之寬幅部6之個數N較佳為1≦N≦5。於此情形時,主寬幅部6較佳為配置於交叉區域E3之附近。 再者,關於光量降低點45b,以距離D2特定之寬幅部6b之位置與以距離d2特定之光量降低點45b之位置亦未必一致。即,並不限於D2=d2,亦存在成為D2>d2、或者D2<d2之情形。此方面對於在第2狹縫圖案2設置3個以上寬幅部6之情形(D3以下之情形)亦同樣。 於本發明之第1實施形態之光罩中,藉由在第2狹縫圖案2利用一對凸部5形成寬幅部6,而於對轉印用圖案進行近接曝光時,可抑制第2狹縫圖案2於被轉印體上形成之轉印像之光強度分佈中之光強度之局部降低(光量降低點45之產生),從而使第2狹縫圖案2之透過光強度均勻化。藉此,可使形成於被轉印體上之第2狹縫圖案2之轉印像之光強度分佈接近圖6所示之理想之光強度分佈。其結果,於在顯示裝置之製造步驟中製造CF之情形時,可將形成於CF基板上之BM之尺寸(尤其是圖案寬度)設為特定範圍內,從而減少斷線之風險。 又,亦可認為本實施形態係藉由將先前之光罩所具備之與BM之開口對應之遮光圖案部分置換為解像極限以下(不獨立地解像)之半透光部而減少轉印像之變細或斷線之風險者。 <第2實施形態> 本發明之第2實施形態之光罩係解決因上述(2)之現象產生之課題者。 圖10係模式性地表示於利用近接曝光裝置對上述圖1所示之參考形態之光罩之轉印用圖案進行曝光時形成於被轉印體上之轉印像之光強度分佈的俯視圖。此處,強調表現出圖4(a)所示之B部(角部之變圓、及等高線之起伏)。即,即便遮光圖案3之角部K(圖5(a))有稜角,若作為轉印像轉印至被轉印體上,則與遮光圖案3之角部K對應之部分(圖10之J部)亦帶有弧度,而進入至應配置彩色濾光片之開口區域之內側。同時,於形成於作為包含透光部之第1狹縫圖案1之轉印像而形成之明亮之帶(圖10之Q部)之外緣的等高線(圖中S部)產生波紋、起伏(參照圖中虛線之橢圓)。因該等現象,而導致使用光罩製造之CF之開口部(配置彩色濾光片之區域)之開口面積變小,有可能會損害顯示器之亮度。 (第2實施形態之光罩) 圖11係表示本發明之第2實施形態之光罩所具備之轉印用圖案之構成例的俯視圖。 本發明之第2實施形態之光罩係與上述第1實施形態之光罩同樣地具備第1狹縫圖案1、第2狹縫圖案2及遮光圖案3者,與第1實施形態之不同點在於:作為上述輔助圖案,代替具有上述寬幅部而(或具有上述寬幅部並且)具有下述擴展部。 於圖11所示之光罩中,自第2狹縫圖案2之出口沿Y方向擴展而形成有擴展部7。又,擴展部7亦自第2狹縫圖案2之出口沿X方向擴展。此處,所謂X方向係設為與第1狹縫圖案1之固定寬度W1之部分平行之方向,所謂Y方向係設為與第2狹縫圖案2之固定寬度W2之部分平行之方向。又,所謂第2狹縫圖案2之出口,如上述般係指交叉區域E3與第2狹縫圖案2之交界且於第2方向(本形態中為Y方向)上與交叉區域E3相接之第2狹縫圖案2之端邊。擴展部7包含半透光部。擴展部7以自交叉區域E3與第2狹縫圖案2之交界向交叉區域E3側伸出之方式擴展,進而以亦向交叉區域E3之兩側伸出之方式擴展。 此處,若將擴展部7之Y方向之擴展量設為γ1(μm),將X方向之擴展量設為γ2(μm),則Y方向之擴展量γ1係以交叉區域E3與第2狹縫圖案2之交界為基準被規定,X方向之擴展量γ2係以第2狹縫圖案2之角部YE之位置為基準被規定。擴展部7相對於第2狹縫圖案2之寬度方向之中心,向X方向之一側及另一側分別各以γ2(μm)之擴展量對稱地伸出。因此,X方向上之擴展部7之寬度W3(μm)較第2狹縫圖案2之寬度W2更大。擴展部7之寬度W3於與第2狹縫圖案2之寬度W2之關係中,成為W3(=W2+2×γ2)>W2。擴展部7形成為包含具有γ1之尺寸之短邊、及具有W3之尺寸之長邊的矩形。 擴展部7之γ1(μm)之尺寸較佳為0<γ1<0.5×W1,更佳為0<γ1<0.1×P1<0.5×W1。又,擴展部7之γ2(μm)之尺寸較佳為0<γ2<0.5×(P2-W2),更佳為0<γ2<0.3×(P2-W2)。 於第2實施形態之光罩之轉印用圖案中,較佳為第2狹縫圖案2包含半透光部,且擴展部7亦與第2狹縫圖案2同樣地包含半透光部。又,更佳為擴展部7係由與第2狹縫圖案2相同之半透光膜形成之具有相同之透光率之半透光部。 於本發明之第2實施形態之光罩中,藉由形成有自第2狹縫圖案2之出口沿X方向及Y方向擴展之擴展部7,於對轉印用圖案進行近接曝光時,可增加第2狹縫圖案2於被轉印體上形成之轉印像中之角部(圖10之J部)之曲率,從而可抑制角部之變圓。換言之,該擴展部與無擴展部之情形相比,可增加形成於被轉印體上之轉印像中之上述角部之曲率。 例如,可使圖10之轉印像中之角部J之曲率R2接近圖6所示之曲率R1(>R2)。進而,亦能夠抑制包含透光部之第1狹縫圖案1之轉印像中之等高線(圖10之S部)之起伏。藉此,可使形成於被轉印體上之轉印像之光強度分佈接近圖6所示之理想之光強度分佈。其結果,於在顯示裝置之製造步驟中製造CF之情形時,可抑制BM之開口面積之減少,從而獲得更明亮之CF。 擴展部之態樣除圖11所示者以外,例如亦可如圖12(a)~(e)所示般考慮各種態樣。 於上述圖11中,擴展部7成為沿X方向及Y方向兩者擴展之態樣(XY擴展型)。相對於此,於圖12(a)中,擴展部7成為以與第2狹縫圖案2之寬度W2相同之寬度僅沿Y方向擴展之態樣(Y擴展型)。又,於圖12(b)中,成為沿Y方向擴展後之擴展部7之前端呈凸型突出之態樣(Y凸擴展型),於圖12(c)中,成為沿Y方向擴展後之擴展部7之前端呈凹型凹陷之態樣(Y凹擴展型)。又,於圖12(d)中,成為沿X方向及Y方向兩者擴展後之擴展部7之前端呈凸型突出之態樣(XY凸擴展型),於圖12(e)中,成為沿X方向及Y方向兩者擴展後之擴展部7之前端呈凹型凹陷之態樣(XY凹擴展型)。其中,於圖12(b)及(d)所示之凸型之態樣中,成為與凸部中心之擴展量γ1相比,凸部兩側之擴展量較小(此處,所謂「較小」包含為零之情形)之態樣。又,於圖12(c)及(e)所示之凹型之態樣中,成為與凹部兩側之擴展量γ1相比,凹部中心之擴展量較小(此處,所謂「較小」包含為零之情形)之態樣。 再者,擴展部之態樣亦可為將上述圖11及圖12所例示之形狀進行複數種組合所得之態樣。又,存在擴展部之最佳形狀根據第1狹縫圖案1及第2狹縫圖案2各自之寬度或透光率之設定而不同之情形,可藉由光學模擬而選擇更佳之形狀。又,擴展部之形狀並不限定於上述所例示之形狀,可根據BM之設計圖案而決定。又,上述所例示之擴展部7成為以第2狹縫圖案2之寬度方向中心為基準對稱之形狀,但並不限定於此,亦可為非對稱之形狀。 又,於本發明之第2實施形態中,例示了第1狹縫圖案1與第2狹縫圖案2構成直角之設計之圖案,但即便於第1狹縫圖案1與第2狹縫圖案2所構成之角並非直角之情形時,亦能夠設置上述擴展部。即,擴展部可自第2狹縫圖案2之出口(交叉區域E3與第2狹縫圖案2之交界)沿Y方向擴展,且視需要亦沿X方向擴展。 本實施形態可設為藉由將先前之光罩所具備之與交叉區域對應之透光部部分置換為解像極限以下(不獨立地解像)之半透光部而改良BM轉印像之分佈者。 <第3實施形態> 本發明之第3實施形態之光罩係解決因上述(3)之現象而產生之課題者。 圖13係模式性地表示於利用近接曝光裝置對上述圖1所示之參考形態之光罩之轉印用圖案進行曝光時形成於被轉印體上之轉印像之光強度分佈的俯視圖。此處,強調表現出圖4(a)所示之C部(較強之光量峰值之出現)。即,存在於第1狹縫圖案1之寬度中心附近且與於X方向上相鄰之2個交叉區域E3之中間對應之位置形成光量較強之峰值之情形。若出現此種峰值,則有如下風險,即,形成於被轉印體上之BM等(例如負型感光性樹脂)會局部較強地產生硬化,作為立體構造物於高度上產生凹凸。 (第3實施形態之光罩) 圖14係表示本發明之第3實施形態之光罩所具備之轉印用圖案之構成例的俯視圖。 本發明之第3實施形態之光罩係與上述第1實施形態之光罩同樣地具備第1狹縫圖案1、第2狹縫圖案2及遮光圖案3者,與第1實施形態或第2實施形態之不同點在於:作為上述輔助圖案,代替具有上述寬幅部或擴展部而(或具有上述寬幅部或擴展部並且)具有下述孤立圖案。 於圖14所示之光罩中,於形成第1狹縫圖案1之第1圖案形成區域E1設置有孤立圖案8。孤立圖案8係以位於在X方向上相鄰之2個交叉區域E3之中間之方式形成。此處,所謂「孤立圖案」係指呈島狀孤立之圖案,例如,如圖14所示般,指被透明基板露出而成之透光部包圍之島狀之圖案。 如圖示般,孤立圖案8係配置於第1狹縫圖案1之寬度方向之中央附近且將於X方向上相鄰之交叉區域E3之重心連結之直線之中間。此處,於在X方向上相鄰之交叉區域E3之中間配置有1個孤立圖案8,但亦可將其分離為複數個孤立圖案而配置。於配置複數個孤立圖案之情形時,可於在X方向上相鄰之交叉區域E3之中間地點,在第1狹縫圖案1之寬度方向上並排配置複數個孤立圖案。於任一情形時,孤立圖案8之重心均較佳為處於距交叉區域E3相等距離。具體而言,可將孤立圖案8之位置設為例如距交叉區域E3之重心於X方向上隔開距離D3(=1/2Py)之位置。而且,可藉由該孤立圖案8降低局部之光強度之峰值。 又,孤立圖案8可設為包含半透光部之矩形圖案。但是,孤立圖案8之形狀亦可為矩形以外之形狀。又,孤立圖案8亦可設為光實質上不透過之遮光部。所謂光實質上不透過係指較佳為光學濃度OD滿足OD≧3之條件之情形。又,於將孤立圖案8設為半透光部之情形時,較佳為由具有與第2狹縫圖案2相同之透光率之半透光部(半透光膜)形成孤立圖案8。 若藉由半透光部形成孤立圖案8,則不獨立地解像之尺寸之選擇更容易,故而較佳。 於第3實施形態中,亦能夠藉由光學模擬選擇孤立圖案8之尺寸、形狀、曝光之光之透過率(包含半透光部之情形)、配置位置、個數等。 於本發明之第3實施形態之光罩中,以位於在X方向上相鄰之2個交叉區域E3之中間之方式,於第1圖案形成區域E1形成有包含半透光部或遮光部之孤立圖案8,藉此,於對轉印用圖案進行近接曝光時,抑止第1狹縫圖案1於被轉印體上形成之轉印像之光強度分佈中之光強度之局部峰值。而且,與無孤立圖案8之情形相比,可使第1狹縫圖案1之透過光強度均勻化。藉此,於形成於被轉印體上之第1狹縫圖案1之轉印像中,減少光強度之不必要之上下變動(強弱之產生),而成為具有更均勻之光強度之轉印像。由此,可使形成於被轉印體上之轉印像之光強度分佈接近圖6所示之理想之光強度分佈。其結果,於在顯示裝置之製造步驟中製造CF之情形時,可抑制BM之不必要之高度變動。 而且,本態樣之光罩可設為藉由將先前之光罩所具備之與狹縫圖案(第1狹縫圖案)對應之透光部部分置換為解像極限以下(不獨立地解像)之遮光部或半透光部而減少轉印像中之光強度之凹凸者。 於以上所述之第1實施形態、第2實施形態、及第3實施形態中,分別示出了為了提高格子狀之圖案之轉印性而調整BM像之形狀的輔助圖案。即,於第1實施形態中,作為輔助圖案例示了一對凸部5(寬幅部6),於第2實施形態中,作為輔助圖案示出了擴展部7,於第3實施形態中,作為輔助圖案例示了孤立圖案8。該等輔助圖案於設計光罩之轉印用圖案時可分別單獨地應用,亦可將任意兩種輔助圖案組合,還可使所有輔助圖案共存。 又,本發明之光罩如上述第1~第3實施形態中所例示般,藉由具有不獨立地解像於被轉印體上之輔助圖案,可提高形成於被轉印體上之BM像之光強度之均勻性,藉此,能夠精緻地形成更微細之BM。 本發明之光罩例如可藉由以下方法而製造。 首先,準備空白光罩,該空白光罩係於包含石英等之透明基板30上積層半透光膜31及遮光膜32,進而於其上形成光阻劑膜而成。半透光膜31可設為含有Cr、Ta、Zr、Si、Mo中之任一者之膜,或者可自其等之化合物(氧化物、氮化物、碳化物、氮氧化物、碳氮化物、碳氮氧化物等)中選擇適當者。或者,可使用Si之化合物(SiON等)或過渡金屬矽化物(MoSi等)或其化合物(氧化物、氮化物、氮氧化物、碳氮氧化物等)。半透光膜31之曝光之光之透過率較佳設為30~70%,更佳設為40~60%。遮光膜32之材料亦可自上述選擇。又,於半透光膜31與遮光膜32之間無蝕刻選擇性之情形時,亦可視需要將該等膜與具有蝕刻選擇性之蝕刻阻止膜夾於中間而積層半透光膜31及遮光膜32。 其次,對上述空白光罩,使用雷射描繪裝置等描繪所需之圖案,且實施所需次數之該描繪及蝕刻,藉此,可製成本發明之光罩。蝕刻可較佳地應用濕式蝕刻。 藉由上述方法而製造之本發明之光罩至少具有透光部22及遮光部23,較佳為具有半透光部21。可設為透光部22係透明基板30露出而成,遮光部23係於透明基板30上至少形成遮光膜32而成,半透光部21係於透明基板30上形成半透光膜31而成。 又,本發明之光罩可藉由使用近接曝光裝置進行曝光,而將轉印用圖案轉印於被轉印體(液晶面板基板、CF基板等)上。於此情形時,可較佳地使用曝光之光之波長包含365 nm、405 nm、及436 nm之光源。又,應用於近接曝光之近接間隙較佳為40~300 μm左右,更佳可設為100~150 μm之範圍。 本發明之光罩可如上述般用於BM之形成。於此情形時,若規定光罩之轉印用圖案之尺寸與藉由將該轉印用圖案轉印於被轉印體上而形成之格子狀BM之尺寸之關係,則如下所述。即,若將光罩之轉印用圖案中之第1狹縫圖案1之寬度設為W1(μm)、將第2狹縫圖案2之寬度設為W2(μm)、將與第1狹縫圖案1對應地形成之BM圖案之線寬設為L1(μm)、將與第2狹縫圖案2對應地形成之BM圖案之線寬設為L2(μm),則較佳為L1≦W1、L2≦W2,更佳為L2<W2,進而較佳為1.2≦W2/L2≦3。 藉由使用此種本發明之光罩,可形成例如L2為2~10 μm、進而為2~8 μm之BM。又,藉由使用本發明之光罩,可穩定地形成高精細之BM。其原因在於:可獲得如下優異之作用效果,即,於形成於被轉印體上之光學影像中,光強度分佈中不易形成不必要之起伏或凹凸,及相對於近接間隙之變動,BM之寬度不易變動等。 本發明之光罩亦可於不妨礙作用效果之範圍內具有追加之光學膜或功能膜。例如,亦可視需要附加反射減少膜、蝕刻阻止膜、導電性膜。 <實施例> 作為本發明之實施例,以BM形成用之近接曝光用光罩為對象進行了光學模擬。 圖15係表示成為參考之參考形態之光罩之轉印用圖案的俯視圖。圖示之轉印用圖案亦如上述圖1所示般,具備包含透光部之第1狹縫圖案1、包含半透光部之第2狹縫圖案2、及包含遮光部之遮光圖案3。第1狹縫圖案1具有固定寬度W1(μm)之部分,第2狹縫圖案2具有較上述W1小之固定寬度W2(μm)之部分。第1狹縫圖案1之Y方向之節距P1、第2狹縫圖案2之X方向之節距P2、第1狹縫圖案1之寬度W1、第2狹縫圖案2之寬度W2係設為如下。 P1=19 μm P2=57 μm W1=15 μm W2=9 μm 假定藉由上述轉印用圖案於被轉印體(負型感光材料)形成以下尺寸之子像素BM圖案。 L1=15 μm(目標) L2=5 μm(目標) 圖16係表示對具備上述圖15所示之轉印用圖案之光罩進行曝光而於被轉印體上獲得之光學影像(轉印像)之光強度分佈的圖。於獲得圖示之光強度分佈時所應用之光學模擬之條件如下。再者,圖中之Gap表示近接間隙之值。又,光強度(%)以相對值表示。 曝光波長(λ):365 nm(單線) 準直角:2.0 deg. 近接間隙:{100、110、120、130、140}μm 半透光膜之透過率:53% 半透光膜之相位偏移量:0 deg. 其次,如圖17所示,對轉印用圖案導入輔助圖案並與上述同樣地進行光學模擬。圖17之轉印用圖案係相對於上述圖15之轉印用圖案導入有2個寬幅部(6、6b)、擴展部7(Y凸擴展型)、及孤立圖案8作為輔助圖案者,除此以外共通。此處應用之輔助圖案之尺寸如下。 D1=4.8 μm α1=1.0 μm β1=4.0 μm D2=13.5 μm α2=0.5 μm β2=4.0 μm γ1=4.0 μm(凸部兩側之擴展量2.5 μm、寬幅部之寬度3.0 μm) D3=9.5 μm δ1=6 μm δ2=4 μm 圖18係表示藉由上述圖17之轉印用圖案而於被轉印體上獲得之光學影像之光強度分佈的圖。根據該圖18可知以下情況。 (I)於圖18中,與上述圖16相比,第2狹縫圖案2之轉印像之光量(光強度)增加。其意味著與第2狹縫圖案2對應地形成之BM圖案之斷線之風險降低。 (II)於圖18中,在上述圖16中觀察到之因BM像之開口角之光量之下降導致之變圓得以抑制,上述開口角之曲率變大。又,於圖18中,與上述圖16相比,沿著X方向之BM圖案之等高線之起伏亦得以抑制。藉此,BM像之開口形狀接近矩形,光強度30%以上之面積增加。其意味著可獲得BM之開口面積較大且明亮之CF。 (III)於圖18中,在上述圖16中觀察到之X方向之BM圖案中之轉印像之較強之光量峰值得以抑制,遍及X方向整體獲得了均勻之光量分佈。其意味著BM之立體構造中不易產生不必要之凹凸。 根據以上光學模擬之結果,可確認本發明之光罩發揮優異之作用效果。<Reference Form> FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a configuration example of a mask according to a reference form of the present invention. 2 (a) is a sectional view taken along the line H-H in FIG. 1, (b) is a sectional view taken along the line V1-V1 in FIG. 1, and (c) is a sectional view taken along the line V2-V2 in FIG. The photomask shown in the figure is a photomask for near-exposure provided on a transparent substrate to form a pattern for transfer of BM on a transfer target. The pattern for transfer of a photomask includes a first slit pattern 1 substantially including a light-transmitting portion 22, a second slit pattern 2 substantially including a translucent portion 21, and a light-shielding pattern 3 substantially including a light-shielding portion 23. . The first slit pattern 1 and the second slit pattern 2 are respectively formed in the corresponding pattern formation regions. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, a pattern forming area extending in the first direction is referred to as a first pattern forming area E1, and a pattern forming area extending in a second direction crossing the first direction is referred to as a second When the pattern forming area E2 and the area where the first pattern forming area E1 intersects with the second pattern forming area E2 (the area to which hatching is applied in the figure) are set as the crossing area E3, the first slit pattern 1 is formed on the first The pattern formation area E1 and the second slit pattern 2 are formed in a second pattern formation area E2 other than the intersection area E3. Here, as an example, the X direction (horizontal direction) is set to a first direction, and the Y direction (longitudinal direction) is set to a second direction. In this case, the first pattern formation region E1 and the second pattern formation region E2 are formed in a lattice shape so as to cross each other at right angles. The first slit pattern 1 is a slit-shaped pattern formed by setting the X direction as the length direction and the Y direction as the width direction, and arranged in a specific pitch P1 in the Y direction. The second slit pattern 2 is a slit-shaped pattern formed by setting the X direction as the width direction and the Y direction as the length direction, and arranged in the X direction at a specific pitch P2. The light-shielding pattern 3 is a pattern surrounded by the first slit pattern 1 and the second slit pattern 2. In addition, FIG. 1 shows a part of the transfer pattern of the photomask. In fact, the first slit pattern 1 and the second slit pattern 2 are formed at specific repeat intervals of the pitches P1 and P2, respectively. The first slit pattern 1 includes a light-transmitting portion 22 in which the surface of the transparent substrate 30 is exposed. The second slit pattern 2 includes a translucent portion 21 formed by forming a translucent film 31 on a transparent substrate 30. The translucent film 31 is a translucent film that transmits a part of the exposed light. The light-shielding pattern 3 includes a light-shielding portion 23 formed by forming a light-shielding film 32 on a transparent substrate 30. In addition, in FIG. 2, the light-shielding portion 23 is a laminated film in which the semi-transmissive film 31 and the light-shielding film 32 are sequentially laminated. FIG. 4 (a) is a plan view schematically showing a light intensity distribution of a transfer image obtained on a transferee body when the transfer pattern of the mask of the reference form is exposed using a proximity exposure device. FIG. 4 (b) is a plan view showing a BM image formed on the object to be transferred (negative-type photosensitive material) by the light intensity distribution shown in FIG. 4 (a). In FIG. 4 (b), a portion surrounded by the first BM pattern 41 corresponding to the first slit pattern 1 and the second BM pattern 42 corresponding to the second slit pattern 2 is an opening 43 corresponding to the light-shielding pattern 3. . The line width of the first BM pattern 41 is represented by L1, and the line width of the second BM pattern 42 is represented by L2. According to the light intensity distribution shown in FIG. 4 (a), three types of phenomena described below occur in the shape of a transfer image obtained on a transfer using a transfer pattern of a photomask. (1) Near the intersection region E3 of the first pattern formation region E1 and the second pattern formation region E2 and near the end portion in the length direction of the second slit pattern 2 (part A of FIG. 4 (a)), the exposure A darker point (hereinafter referred to as a "light amount reduction point") at which the light intensity of the light locally decreases. Therefore, the decrease in the light intensity occurring at the place is likely to cause the line width L2 of the second BM pattern 42 to be partially smaller than the design value in the BM image formed on the object to be transferred or a disconnection may occur depending on the situation. (2) As shown in FIG. 4 (b), the corner of the opening portion 43 of the BM image is not a right angle but has an arc. Further, the shape of the contour of the light amount also fluctuates and fluctuates in a portion of the mask transfer pattern that is a straight line (part B in FIG. 4 (a)). Therefore, the corners of the openings 43 of the BM image formed on the object to be transferred are rounded, and the opening area is reduced. (3) In the first slit pattern 1, a strong light amount peak appears in the middle of the two intersecting regions E3 adjacent in the X direction (part C of FIG. 4 (a)). Therefore, the light intensity of the light that is exposed through the first slit pattern 1 generates unnecessary strength. Therefore, the BM image formed on the object to be transferred corresponding to the first slit pattern 1 locally generates a strong hardened portion 44, and thus there is a risk of unevenness in the three-dimensional structure of the BM. In the current situation, a defective image may be produced during the manufacture of CF due to a photosensitive image of a BM photosensitive material on a transferred body caused by a transfer image whose pattern shape is deteriorated due to the above-mentioned three phenomena, and it is an issue to eliminate the problem. Obvious. Hereinafter, the embodiment corresponding to the problem caused by the phenomenon (1) described above is referred to as a first embodiment, and the embodiment corresponding to the problem caused by the phenomenon described in (2) above is referred to as a second embodiment. An embodiment corresponding to a problem caused by the phenomenon (3) described above will be described as a third embodiment. <First Embodiment> First, the phenomenon (1) described above will be studied. (A) of FIG. 5 is an enlarged plan view of the periphery of the cross region of the transfer pattern of the photomask shown in FIG. 1, and (b) is a pattern schematically showing exposure of the transfer pattern by a proximity exposure device. A plan view of the light intensity distribution of the transfer image formed on the transferee at this time. In FIG. 5 (a), the first slit pattern 1 has a portion with a fixed width W1, and the second slit pattern 2 has a portion with a fixed width W2 (where W2 <W1). A portion of the fixed width W1 of the first slit pattern 1 is parallel to the X direction, and a portion of the fixed width W2 of the second slit pattern 2 is parallel to the Y direction. The intersection area E3 is an area divided into a polygon (a quadrilateral in FIG. 5 (a)) between the second slit patterns 2 adjacent in the Y direction. The intersection area E3 can be specified as a polygonal area formed by connecting the corners YE in a straight line when the corners of the second slit pattern 2 facing the intersection area E3 in the Y direction are opposed to each other as YE. . Regarding a certain second slit pattern 2, a line segment connecting the corners YE of the second slit pattern 2 paired in the X direction in a straight line corresponds to the exit of the second slit pattern 2. The exit of the second slit pattern 2 refers to the second slit pattern 2 at the boundary between the intersection region E3 and the second slit pattern 2 and contacting the intersection region E3 in the second direction (the Y direction in this embodiment). End of it. The corner portion YE of the second slit pattern 2 may be specified as a curved portion in which the line width or edge shape of the second slit pattern 2 changes abruptly, for example, at the boundary between the intersection region E3 and the second slit pattern 2. As described above, the first slit pattern 1 includes the light-transmitting portion 22, and the second slit pattern 2 includes the semi-light-transmitting portion 21. In FIG. 5 (a), hatching is applied to show the range of the cross region E3, but the cross region E3 becomes a part of the first slit pattern 1. Therefore, the intersection region E3 includes the light-transmitting portion 22 in which the transparent substrate 30 is exposed similarly to the first slit pattern 1. In addition, with regard to the intersection area E3, hatching may be applied in the drawings other than FIG. 5 (a). The light-shielding pattern 3 is a pattern corresponding to the opening of the BM, and includes a light-shielding portion 23. The light-shielding pattern 3 is formed between the second slit patterns 2 adjacent to each other in the X direction and between the first slit patterns 1 adjacent to each other in the Y direction. In FIG. 5 (b), a light amount is formed at a position corresponding to the second slit pattern 2 at a position separated by a distance d1 (μm) in the Y direction from the boundary between the intersection region E3 and the second slit pattern 2. Lower it by 45. In addition, in FIG. 5 (b), the point where the amount of light generated in the part A of FIG. 4 (a) decreases is emphasized. The formation of the light amount reduction point 45 in the step of forming the BM as described above may cause a risk that the line width of the BM becomes thinner or is broken, which is not preferable. That is, it is preferable to make the intensity of the light formed on the transferee by the light exposed through the second slit pattern 2 more uniform, and as a result, an ideal light intensity distribution as shown in FIG. 6 is obtained. Further, in the light intensity distribution shown in FIG. 6, no light amount reduction point 45 is generated. Therefore, the present inventors have studied the introduction of an auxiliary pattern that can increase the light intensity of the transfer image of the BM formed on the object to be transferred by the first slit pattern 1 and the second slit pattern 2. Of uniformity. This auxiliary pattern is a pattern that is not independently resolved when a pattern for transfer of a photomask is transferred to a transfer object using a proximity exposure device. The so-called "independently resolved pattern" here means that under the exposure conditions of an exposure device for display device manufacturing, the transferred image of the pattern will not be recognizable according to the CD and transmittance in the pattern of the photomask. The pattern formed on the body to be transferred. CD is the abbreviation of Critical Dimension, which has the meaning of pattern width. The auxiliary pattern is a pattern introduced for the purpose of bringing the BM image formed on the transferee close to the ideal shape as shown in FIG. 6, and exerts the function of adjusting the shape of the BM image formed on the transferee. Supporting role. (Mask of First Embodiment) FIG. 7 is a plan view showing a configuration example of a pattern for transfer provided in a mask of a first embodiment of the present invention. The photomask shown in the figure can be used as a photomask for forming a BM on a body to be transferred by performing a close exposure. The mask of the first embodiment includes the same pattern as the mask of the reference form shown in FIG. 1 except that the auxiliary pattern is included in the transfer pattern. Specifically, a pattern for transfer is provided. The pattern for transfer includes a first slit pattern 1 formed in the first pattern forming region E1 and a second slit pattern 2 formed in a region other than the cross region E3. The second pattern formation area E2; and the light-shielding pattern 3 are surrounded by the first slit pattern 1 and the second slit pattern 2. The first slit pattern 1 has a portion with a fixed width W1 (μm), and the second slit pattern 2 has a portion with a narrower fixed width W2 (μm). The pitch (repetition period) in the Y direction of the first slit pattern 1 is P1 (μm), and the pitch (repetition period) in the X direction of the second slit pattern 2 is P2 (μm). Preferably, the first slit pattern 1 substantially includes the light-transmitting portion 22, and the second slit pattern 2 substantially includes the semi-light-transmitting portion 21. The translucent portion 22 may be obtained by exposing the transparent substrate 30, and the semi-transmissive portion 21 may be formed by forming a semi-transmissive film 31 on the semi-transmissive film 31. When the transmittance of the exposed light of the transparent substrate is set to 100%, the transmittance of the exposed light of the translucent portion 21 is preferably 30 to 70%, more preferably 40 to 60%. The phase shift amount of the translucent film 31 with respect to the exposed light is preferably within ± 90 degrees, and more preferably within ± 60 degrees. The intersection region E3 substantially includes the light transmitting portion 22. In addition, in the present embodiment, the "substantially" region refers to a region other than the auxiliary pattern when the auxiliary pattern is introduced in order to improve the transferability of the pattern of the BM although it is not independently resolved. region. For example, there are cases in which, in the first slit pattern 1 including a light transmitting portion, an isolated pattern including a semi-light transmitting portion is introduced as an auxiliary pattern as follows. In this case, the meaning that the first slit pattern 1 "substantially" includes a light-transmitting portion refers to a case where the first slit pattern 1 including the light-transmitting portion and the auxiliary pattern including the semi-light-transmitting portion are compared with each other. When the area obtained by adding is 100%, the area occupied by the first slit pattern 1 is 65% or more, and preferably 80% or more. The same applies to the second slit pattern 2. The meaning that the second slit pattern 2 "substantially" includes a translucent portion means that the area occupied by the second slit pattern 2 is 65% or more, preferably 80 % Or more. The case where the crossing region E3 substantially includes a light-transmitting portion refers to a case where, for example, as described in the second embodiment below, an auxiliary pattern having optical characteristics different from the crossing region E3 is introduced into the crossing region E3. In this case, a portion other than the auxiliary pattern becomes a light transmitting portion. The light-shielding patterns 3 are formed on portions corresponding to the lattice windows formed by the first slit pattern 1 and the second slit pattern 2. The light-shielding pattern 3 includes a light-shielding portion 23 having a light-shielding film 32 formed on a transparent substrate 30. The first slit pattern 1 and the second slit pattern 2 constitute a grid-like pattern corresponding to the BM to be formed on the object to be transferred. The light-shielding pattern 3 surrounded by the first slit pattern 1 and the second slit pattern 2 constitutes a pattern corresponding to the opening of the BM. In the case of manufacturing the CF of an LCD, after forming a BM on a transparent CF substrate, a corresponding color (R, G, B) filter is formed in each opening portion of the BM. In addition, although not shown, a light-transmitting portion without a light-shielding portion may be provided near the outer periphery of the transfer pattern of the photomask. The light-transmitting portion corresponds to a frame region of an outer edge of a display portion of the liquid crystal display device, and has a sufficient width wider than the first and second slit patterns. The width dimension W1 (μm) of the fixed width portion of the first slit pattern 1 is preferably 15 ≦ W1 ≦ 40, and the width dimension W2 (μm) of the fixed width portion of the second slit pattern 2 is preferably 4 ≦ W2 ≦ 12. The pitch P1 (μm) of the first slit pattern 1 is preferably 400 ≦ P1 ≦ 100, and the pitch P2 (μm) of the second slit pattern 2 is preferably 10 ≦ P2 ≦ 35. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the case where the first pattern formation region E1 and the second pattern formation region E2 intersect at right angles has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the intersection angle of the first pattern formation area E1 and the second pattern formation area E2 may be set within 90 ± 45 degrees, and more preferably within 90 ± 30 degrees. In either case, the first slit pattern 1 is formed in the first pattern formation region E1, and the second slit pattern 2 is formed in the second slit pattern 2 except the intersection region E3. In addition, the first slit pattern 1 may not have a fixed width in all parts, and it is sufficient if it has a fixed width part of W1. Similarly, the second slit pattern 2 may not have a fixed width in all parts, as long as it has a fixed width part of W2. Therefore, for example, the first slit pattern 1 may have a portion whose width is partially widened. It is preferable that the first slit pattern 1 and the second slit pattern 2 have portions having the above-mentioned fixed widths W1 and W2 at a ratio of 50% or more of the length, respectively. Hereinafter, the auxiliary pattern included in the transfer pattern of the photomask according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 7. A pair of convex portions 5 are formed in the second slit pattern 2 as an auxiliary pattern. The pair of convex portions 5 are formed by partially protruding from both sides in the width direction of the second slit pattern 2, whereby one portion of the second slit pattern 2 becomes a wide portion 6 having a line width wider than the other portions. Each convex portion 5 is formed with a protrusion amount of α1 (μm) in the X direction and a protrusion width of β1 (μm) in the Y direction. The pair of convex portions 5 are formed at corresponding positions on both sides in the width direction of the second slit pattern 2 and are preferably provided symmetrically in the width direction. The pair of convex portions 5 are preferably formed at positions equidistant from the boundary between the intersection region E3 and the second slit pattern 2 in the Y direction. The wide portion 6 formed by the pair of convex portions 5 is preferably arranged near the intersection area E3. Specifically, it is preferable that the distance D1 from the boundary between the intersection region E3 and the second slit pattern 2 to the center of gravity of the wide portion 6 in the Y direction is 1 of the length (P1-W1) of the second slit pattern 2 / 4 or less. In this case, the preferred range of the distance D1 is β1 ÷ 2 ≦ D1 ≦ 0. 25 × (P1-W1). The distance D1 preferably satisfies β1 ÷ 2 <D1, that is, the boundary between the convex portion 5 and the intersecting area E3 and the second slit pattern 2 is spaced apart. The width of the wide portion 6 is represented by W2 + (2 × α1). In this case, the protrusion amount α1 of the convex portion 5 is preferably 0 <α1 ≦ 0. 3 × W2, more preferably 0. 04 × W2 ≦ α1 ≦ 0. 25 × W2. Also, the convex width β1 of the convex portion 5 is preferably 0 <β1 ≦ 0. 15 × (P1-W1). According to research by the inventors, it was confirmed that the formation of the above-mentioned light amount reduction point 45 (FIG. 5 (b)) can be suppressed by providing the wide portion 6 in the second slit pattern 2. That is, it can be seen that if exposure is performed on the BM formation mask provided with the transfer pattern of FIG. 7, as shown in FIG. 6, the decrease in light intensity is eliminated in the transfer image of the second slit pattern 2. Thereby, the light intensity distribution is made uniform. That is, compared with the case where there is no wide-width part 6, the said light intensity distribution can be made uniform. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the wide portion 6 is formed at a distance D1 from the boundary of the intersection region E3 and the second slit pattern 2. However, the position and the figure of the wide portion 6 are specified by the distance D1. The positions of the light amount reduction points 45 specified by the distance d1 shown in 5 (b) are not necessarily the same. That is, it may not necessarily be D1 = d1, and there may be cases where D1> d1 or D1 <d1. The optimal position of the wide portion 6, that is, the position of the wide portion 6 where the light intensity distribution in the transfer image of the second slit pattern 2 is most stable can be confirmed by optical simulation. The number of the wide portions 6 provided in the second slit pattern 2 is not limited to one. That is, the convex portions 5 introduced into the second slit pattern 2 are not limited to a pair. For example, as a result of providing the wide portion 6 near the intersection of the intersecting area E3 and the second slit pattern 2, as shown in FIG. 8, a new image may be formed in the transfer image of the second slit pattern 2. In the case where the light amount is lowered at the point 45b. The light amount reduction point 45b is generated at a position separated by a distance d2 from the boundary between the intersection region E3 and the second slit pattern 2 in the Y direction. Therefore, in order to eliminate the decrease in the light amount and make the light intensity distribution of the transferred image of the second slit pattern 2 more uniform, as shown in FIG. The wide portion 6b is formed in the second slit pattern 2 by a pair of convex portions 5b. In the transfer pattern shown in FIG. 9, a wide portion (hereinafter also referred to as a “main wide area”) is provided at a distance of D1 (μm) from the boundary between the intersection area E3 and the second slit pattern 2. Section ") 6, and a wide section 6b is provided at a distance of D2 (μm) from the boundary. In this case, the distance D2 in the Y direction is the same as the above-mentioned distance D1, which indicates the distance from the intersection of the intersection region E3 and the second slit pattern 2 to the center of gravity of the wide portion 6b, and the relationship of D2> D1 is satisfied. In addition, the relationship between the protrusion amount α1 (μm) of the convex portion 5 in the wide portion 6 and the protrusion amount α2 (μm) of the convex portion 5b in the wide portion 6b is preferably α1 ≧ α2, and more preferably α1 > Α2. When the second slit pattern 2 is provided only with the wide portion 6 or when both the wide portion 6 and the wide portion 6b are provided, the convex shape of the convex portions 5 and 5b is preferably rectangular. The number of the wide portions 6 provided in the second slit pattern 2 may be three or more. In this case, if the protrusion amount of each wide portion 6 is set to α1, α2, α3, α4, ... in the order of near to far from the boundary between the intersection area E3 and the second slit pattern 2, Then, the relationship between them is preferably α1 ≧ α2 ≧ α3 ≧ α4 ..., and more preferably α1> α2> α3> α4 .... However, this condition applies to a section from the boundary between the intersection region E3 and the second slit pattern 2 to the middle portion in the longitudinal direction of the second slit pattern 2. The number N of the wide portions 6 arranged at one end to the other end in the longitudinal direction of the second slit pattern 2 is preferably 1 ≦ N ≦ 5. In this case, the main wide portion 6 is preferably arranged near the intersection area E3. In addition, regarding the light amount reduction point 45b, the position of the wide portion 6b specified by the distance D2 and the position of the light amount reduction point 45b specified by the distance d2 are not necessarily the same. That is, it is not limited to D2 = d2, and there may be cases where D2> d2 or D2 <d2. The same applies to the case where three or more wide portions 6 are provided in the second slit pattern 2 (the case below D3). In the photomask according to the first embodiment of the present invention, a wide portion 6 is formed by a pair of convex portions 5 in the second slit pattern 2, and the second exposure can be suppressed when the transfer pattern is subjected to close exposure. The light intensity in the light intensity distribution of the transfer image formed by the slit pattern 2 on the object to be transferred is locally reduced (generation of the light amount reduction point 45), so that the transmitted light intensity of the second slit pattern 2 is uniformized. Thereby, the light intensity distribution of the transfer image of the second slit pattern 2 formed on the object to be transferred can be made close to the ideal light intensity distribution shown in FIG. 6. As a result, when CF is manufactured in the manufacturing process of the display device, the size (especially the pattern width) of the BM formed on the CF substrate can be set within a specific range, thereby reducing the risk of disconnection. It can also be considered that the present embodiment reduces the transfer by replacing the light-shielding pattern portion corresponding to the opening of the BM provided in the previous mask with a semi-transmissive portion below the resolution limit (not independent resolution). Like the risk of thinning or disconnection. <Second Embodiment> The mask according to the second embodiment of the present invention solves the problem caused by the phenomenon (2) described above. FIG. 10 is a plan view schematically showing a light intensity distribution of a transfer image formed on a transferee body when the transfer pattern of the photomask of the reference form shown in FIG. 1 is exposed by the proximity exposure device. Here, it is emphasized that the part B (the rounding of the corners and the undulations of the contour lines) shown in FIG. 4 (a) is expressed. That is, even if the corner K of the light-shielding pattern 3 (FIG. 5 (a)) has edges and corners, if it is transferred to the object to be transferred as a transfer image, the portion corresponding to the corner K of the light-shielding pattern 3 (FIG. 10 Part J) also has an arc, and enters the inside of the opening area where the color filter should be arranged. At the same time, ripples and undulations are generated on the contour lines (S part in the figure) on the outer edge of the bright band (part Q in FIG. 10) formed as the transfer image of the first slit pattern 1 including the light transmitting part (part S in the figure). (Refer to the dotted oval in the figure). Due to these phenomena, the opening area of the CF opening (the area where the color filter is arranged) made using a photomask becomes small, which may damage the brightness of the display. (Mask of Second Embodiment) FIG. 11 is a plan view showing a configuration example of a transfer pattern provided in a mask of a second embodiment of the present invention. The mask of the second embodiment of the present invention includes the first slit pattern 1, the second slit pattern 2 and the light-shielding pattern 3 similarly to the mask of the first embodiment, and is different from the first embodiment. The reason is that, as the auxiliary pattern, instead of having the wide portion (or having the wide portion), the auxiliary pattern has the following extended portion. In the photomask shown in FIG. 11, an expanded portion 7 is formed by expanding in the Y direction from the exit of the second slit pattern 2. Further, the expanded portion 7 also expands in the X direction from the exit of the second slit pattern 2. Here, the X direction is a direction parallel to a portion of the fixed width W1 of the first slit pattern 1, and the Y direction is a direction parallel to a portion of the fixed width W2 of the second slit pattern 2. The exit of the second slit pattern 2 refers to the boundary between the intersection region E3 and the second slit pattern 2 as described above, and is in contact with the intersection region E3 in the second direction (the Y direction in this embodiment). The edge of the second slit pattern 2. The extension portion 7 includes a semi-transmissive portion. The expansion portion 7 expands so as to protrude toward the intersection area E3 from the boundary between the intersection area E3 and the second slit pattern 2, and further expands so as to extend to both sides of the intersection area E3. Here, if the expansion amount in the Y direction of the expansion portion 7 is γ1 (μm) and the expansion amount in the X direction is γ2 (μm), the expansion amount γ1 in the Y direction is the intersection area E3 and the second narrow area. The boundary of the stitch pattern 2 is defined as a reference, and the expansion amount γ2 in the X direction is defined based on the position of the corner YE of the second slit pattern 2 as a reference. The extended portion 7 projects symmetrically with respect to the center in the width direction of the second slit pattern 2 on one side and the other side in the X direction with an expansion amount of γ2 (μm), respectively. Therefore, the width W3 (μm) of the extended portion 7 in the X direction is larger than the width W2 of the second slit pattern 2. The width W3 of the extended portion 7 is W3 (= W2 + 2 × γ2)> W2 in a relationship with the width W2 of the second slit pattern 2. The extended portion 7 is formed in a rectangle including a short side having a size of γ1 and a long side having a size of W3. The size of γ1 (μm) of the extension 7 is preferably 0 <γ1 <0. 5 × W1, more preferably 0 <γ1 <0. 1 × P1 <0. 5 × W1. In addition, the size of γ2 (μm) of the extension 7 is preferably 0 <γ2 <0. 5 × (P2-W2), more preferably 0 <γ2 <0. 3 × (P2-W2). In the transfer pattern of the photomask of the second embodiment, it is preferable that the second slit pattern 2 includes a semi-transmissive portion, and the extension portion 7 also includes a semi-transmissive portion similarly to the second slit pattern 2. Furthermore, it is more preferable that the extended portion 7 is a semi-transmissive portion having the same light transmittance and formed of the same semi-transmissive film as the second slit pattern 2. In the photomask according to the second embodiment of the present invention, an expansion portion 7 extending in the X-direction and the Y-direction from the exit of the second slit pattern 2 is formed. Increasing the curvature of the corner portion (part J in FIG. 10) in the transfer image formed by the second slit pattern 2 on the object to be transferred can suppress the rounding of the corner portion. In other words, as compared with the case where there is no expansion portion, the expansion portion can increase the curvature of the corner portion in the transfer image formed on the object to be transferred. For example, the curvature R2 of the corner portion J in the transfer image of FIG. 10 can be made closer to the curvature R1 (> R2) shown in FIG. 6. Furthermore, it is possible to suppress the undulations of the contour lines (part S in FIG. 10) in the transfer image of the first slit pattern 1 including the light-transmitting portion. Thereby, the light intensity distribution of the transfer image formed on the object to be transferred can be made close to the ideal light intensity distribution shown in FIG. 6. As a result, when the CF is manufactured in the manufacturing process of the display device, a decrease in the opening area of the BM can be suppressed, and a brighter CF can be obtained. In addition to the aspect of the extension part, various aspects can be considered, for example, as shown in FIGS. 12 (a) to (e). In FIG. 11 described above, the expansion section 7 is expanded in both the X direction and the Y direction (XY expansion type). On the other hand, in FIG. 12 (a), the expanded portion 7 is expanded only in the Y direction with the same width as the width W2 of the second slit pattern 2 (Y expanded type). In addition, in FIG. 12 (b), the front end of the expansion portion 7 expanded in the Y direction is convexly protruding (Y convex expansion type), and in FIG. 12 (c), it is expanded in the Y direction. The front end of the extended portion 7 is in a concave state (Y concave extended type). In addition, in FIG. 12 (d), the front end of the expansion portion 7 expanded in both the X direction and the Y direction is convexly protruding (XY convex expansion type), and in FIG. 12 (e), it becomes The front end of the expanded portion 7 that has been expanded in both the X direction and the Y direction is in a concave state (XY concave extended type). Among them, in the convex form shown in FIGS. 12 (b) and (d), the expansion amount on both sides of the convex portion is smaller than the expansion amount γ1 at the center of the convex portion (here, the so-called "more than "Small" includes the case of zero). Further, in the concave form shown in FIGS. 12 (c) and (e), the expansion amount at the center of the recessed portion is smaller than the expansion amount γ1 at both sides of the recessed portion (herein, "smaller" includes Is zero). In addition, the aspect of the extension portion may also be an aspect obtained by combining the shapes illustrated in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 in a plurality of types. In addition, the optimal shape of the extended portion may be different depending on the respective widths or light transmittance settings of the first slit pattern 1 and the second slit pattern 2, and a more optimal shape can be selected by optical simulation. The shape of the extension is not limited to the shape exemplified above, and can be determined based on the design pattern of the BM. In addition, the exemplified expansion portion 7 has a symmetrical shape with the center of the width direction of the second slit pattern 2 as a reference, but it is not limited to this, and may be an asymmetric shape. Moreover, in the second embodiment of the present invention, a pattern in which the first slit pattern 1 and the second slit pattern 2 form a right angle is exemplified, but even the first slit pattern 1 and the second slit pattern 2 In a case where the formed angle is not a right angle, the above-mentioned extension can be provided. That is, the expansion portion can expand in the Y direction from the exit of the second slit pattern 2 (the boundary between the intersection region E3 and the second slit pattern 2), and also expand in the X direction if necessary. In this embodiment, it is possible to improve the BM transfer image by replacing a part of the light transmitting part corresponding to the intersecting area provided in the previous mask with a light transmitting part below the resolution limit (not independent resolution). Distributor. <Third Embodiment> A mask according to a third embodiment of the present invention is a person who solves a problem caused by the phenomenon (3) described above. FIG. 13 is a plan view schematically showing a light intensity distribution of a transfer image formed on a transferee body when a transfer pattern of the photomask of the reference form shown in FIG. 1 is exposed using a proximity exposure device. Here, it is emphasized that the part C (the occurrence of a strong light amount peak) shown in FIG. 4 (a) is exhibited. That is, there may be a case where a strong light peak is formed near the width center of the first slit pattern 1 and at a position corresponding to the middle of the two intersecting regions E3 adjacent in the X direction. If such a peak occurs, there is a risk that BM or the like (for example, a negative photosensitive resin) formed on the transferee body is locally hardened strongly, and unevenness is generated as a three-dimensional structure in height. (Mask of Third Embodiment) FIG. 14 is a plan view showing a configuration example of a pattern for transfer provided in a mask of a third embodiment of the present invention. The mask of the third embodiment of the present invention is the same as the mask of the first embodiment, and includes the first slit pattern 1, the second slit pattern 2, and the light-shielding pattern 3, which is the same as the first embodiment or the second embodiment. The difference between the embodiments is that as the auxiliary pattern, instead of having the wide portion or the extended portion (or having the wide portion or the extended portion), the auxiliary pattern has the following isolated pattern. In the photomask shown in FIG. 14, an isolated pattern 8 is provided in the first pattern forming region E1 where the first slit pattern 1 is formed. The isolated pattern 8 is formed so as to be located between two intersecting regions E3 adjacent to each other in the X direction. Here, the "isolated pattern" refers to an island-shaped isolated pattern, and as shown in FIG. 14, for example, it refers to an island-shaped pattern surrounded by a light-transmitting portion exposed by a transparent substrate. As shown in the figure, the isolated pattern 8 is arranged in the middle of a line near the center in the width direction of the first slit pattern 1 and connected to the center of gravity of the intersecting region E3 adjacent in the X direction. Here, one isolated pattern 8 is arranged in the middle of the cross region E3 adjacent in the X direction, but it may be arranged by separating it into a plurality of isolated patterns. When a plurality of isolated patterns are arranged, a plurality of isolated patterns may be arranged side by side in the width direction of the first slit pattern 1 at an intermediate point of the cross region E3 adjacent in the X direction. In either case, the center of gravity of the isolated pattern 8 is preferably at an equal distance from the intersection area E3. Specifically, the position of the isolated pattern 8 may be, for example, a position separated from the center of gravity of the intersection region E3 by a distance D3 (= 1 / 2Py) in the X direction. Moreover, the peak of the local light intensity can be reduced by the isolated pattern 8. The isolated pattern 8 may be a rectangular pattern including a translucent portion. However, the shape of the isolated pattern 8 may be a shape other than a rectangle. The isolated pattern 8 may be a light shielding portion through which light does not substantially pass. The fact that the light is substantially impermeable means that the optical density OD preferably satisfies the condition that OD ≧ 3. When the isolated pattern 8 is a semi-transmissive portion, it is preferable to form the isolated pattern 8 from a semi-transmissive portion (semi-transmissive film) having the same light transmittance as the second slit pattern 2. If the isolated pattern 8 is formed by the semi-transmissive portion, it is easier to select a size that does not independently resolve, so it is preferable. In the third embodiment, the size and shape of the isolated pattern 8 and the transmittance of the exposed light (in the case of a semi-transmissive part), the arrangement position, and the number can be selected by optical simulation. In the photomask according to the third embodiment of the present invention, a semi-light-transmitting portion or a light-shielding portion is formed in the first pattern forming area E1 so as to be located between two intersecting areas E3 adjacent to each other in the X direction. The isolated pattern 8 thereby suppresses local peaks of light intensity in the light intensity distribution of the transfer image formed by the first slit pattern 1 on the transfer target when the transfer pattern is subjected to close exposure. In addition, compared with the case where there is no isolated pattern 8, the transmitted light intensity of the first slit pattern 1 can be made uniform. Thereby, in the transfer image of the first slit pattern 1 formed on the body to be transferred, unnecessary fluctuations in light intensity (generation of strength) are reduced, and a more uniform light intensity transfer is obtained. image. Thereby, the light intensity distribution of the transfer image formed on the object to be transferred can be made close to the ideal light intensity distribution shown in FIG. 6. As a result, when CF is manufactured in the manufacturing process of the display device, unnecessary BM high variation can be suppressed. Moreover, the mask of this aspect can be set by replacing the part of the light transmitting part corresponding to the slit pattern (the first slit pattern) provided in the previous mask to the resolution limit or less (not independent resolution). The light-shielding portion or the semi-light-transmitting portion reduces unevenness in light intensity in the transferred image. In the first embodiment, the second embodiment, and the third embodiment described above, auxiliary patterns that adjust the shape of the BM image in order to improve the transferability of the grid-like pattern are shown. That is, in the first embodiment, a pair of convex portions 5 (wide portions 6) are exemplified as auxiliary patterns. In the second embodiment, the extended portions 7 are illustrated as auxiliary patterns. In the third embodiment, An isolated pattern 8 is exemplified as the auxiliary pattern. These auxiliary patterns can be applied separately when designing the pattern for the transfer of the photomask, or any two kinds of auxiliary patterns can be combined, and all auxiliary patterns can also coexist. In addition, as the photomask of the present invention is exemplified in the first to third embodiments described above, by having an auxiliary pattern that is not independently resolved on the transfer object, the BM formed on the transfer object can be improved. The uniformity of the light intensity of the image can thereby form finer BM finely. The photomask of the present invention can be produced, for example, by the following method. First, a blank photomask is prepared. The blank photomask is formed by laminating a semi-transmissive film 31 and a light-shielding film 32 on a transparent substrate 30 including quartz, and then forming a photoresist film thereon. The translucent film 31 may be a film containing any one of Cr, Ta, Zr, Si, and Mo, or a compound (oxide, nitride, carbide, oxynitride, or carbonitride) selected from these. , Carbonitrides, etc.). Alternatively, a compound of Si (such as SiON) or a transition metal silicide (such as MoSi) or a compound thereof (oxide, nitride, oxynitride, carbonitride, etc.) can be used. The light transmittance of the exposed light of the translucent film 31 is preferably 30 to 70%, and more preferably 40 to 60%. The material of the light shielding film 32 can also be selected from the above. In addition, when there is no etching selectivity between the semi-transmissive film 31 and the light-shielding film 32, the semi-transmissive film 31 and the light-shielding layer may be laminated between the films and an etching prevention film having an etching selectivity as necessary. Film 32. Next, for the blank mask, a desired pattern is drawn using a laser drawing device or the like, and the drawing and etching are performed a desired number of times, thereby making the mask of the present invention. As the etching, wet etching can be preferably used. The photomask of the present invention manufactured by the above method has at least a light-transmitting portion 22 and a light-shielding portion 23, and preferably has a semi-light-transmitting portion 21. The light-transmitting portion 22 is formed by exposing the transparent substrate 30, the light-shielding portion 23 is formed by forming at least the light-shielding film 32 on the transparent substrate 30, and the semi-transmissive portion 21 is formed by forming the semi-transparent film 31 on the transparent substrate 30. to make. In addition, the photomask of the present invention can transfer a pattern for transfer to a transfer target (a liquid crystal panel substrate, a CF substrate, or the like) by performing exposure using a proximity exposure device. In this case, light sources with wavelengths of 365 nm, 405 nm, and 436 nm can be preferably used. The proximity gap used for the proximity exposure is preferably about 40 to 300 μm, and more preferably, it can be set to a range of 100 to 150 μm. The photomask of the present invention can be used for the formation of BM as described above. In this case, if the relationship between the size of the transfer pattern of the photomask and the size of the grid-shaped BM formed by transferring the transfer pattern to the object to be transferred is specified, it is as follows. That is, if the width of the first slit pattern 1 in the transfer pattern of the photomask is W1 (μm), the width of the second slit pattern 2 is W2 (μm), and The line width of the BM pattern formed corresponding to the pattern 1 is set to L1 (μm), and the line width of the BM pattern formed corresponding to the second slit pattern 2 is set to L2 (μm), preferably L1 ≦ W1 L2 ≦ W2, more preferably L2 <W2, even more preferably 1. 2 ≦ W2 / L2 ≦ 3. By using such a photomask of the present invention, for example, a BM having an L2 of 2 to 10 μm and further 2 to 8 μm can be formed. In addition, by using the mask of the present invention, high-definition BM can be formed stably. The reason is that the following excellent effects can be obtained: in the optical image formed on the object to be transferred, it is not easy to form unnecessary undulations or irregularities in the light intensity distribution, and the change with respect to the close gap. The width is not easy to change. The photomask of the present invention may have an additional optical film or a functional film within a range that does not hinder the effect. For example, a reflection reduction film, an etching stopper film, and a conductive film may be added as needed. <Example> As an example of the present invention, an optical simulation was performed on a photomask for close exposure for BM formation. FIG. 15 is a plan view showing a pattern for transfer of a mask of a reference form for reference. The transfer pattern shown in the figure also includes a first slit pattern 1 including a light-transmitting portion, a second slit pattern 2 including a translucent portion, and a light-shielding pattern 3 including a light-shielding portion, as shown in FIG. 1 described above. . The first slit pattern 1 has a portion with a fixed width W1 (μm), and the second slit pattern 2 has a portion with a fixed width W2 (μm) smaller than the aforementioned W1. The pitch P1 in the Y direction of the first slit pattern 1, the pitch P2 in the X direction of the second slit pattern 2, the width W1 of the first slit pattern 1, and the width W2 of the second slit pattern 2 are set to as follows. P1 = 19 μm P2 = 57 μm W1 = 15 μm W2 = 9 μm It is assumed that the sub-pixel BM pattern of the following size is formed on the object to be transferred (negative-type photosensitive material) by the transfer pattern described above. L1 = 15 μm (target) L2 = 5 μm (target) FIG. 16 shows an optical image (transfer image) obtained by exposing a mask provided with the transfer pattern shown in FIG. 15 on the transfer target. ) Of the light intensity distribution. The conditions of the optical simulation applied in obtaining the illustrated light intensity distribution are as follows. Moreover, Gap in the figure represents the value of the proximity gap. The light intensity (%) is expressed as a relative value. Exposure wavelength (λ): 365 nm (single line) Collimation angle: 2. 0 deg. Proximity gap: {100, 110, 120, 130, 140} μm Transmittance of translucent film: 53% Phase shift of translucent film: 0 deg. Next, as shown in FIG. 17, an auxiliary pattern is introduced into the transfer pattern and an optical simulation is performed in the same manner as described above. The transfer pattern of FIG. 17 is one in which two wide portions (6, 6b), an extended portion 7 (Y convex extension type), and an isolated pattern 8 are introduced as auxiliary patterns with respect to the transfer pattern of FIG. Otherwise, they are common. The sizes of the auxiliary patterns applied here are as follows. D1 = 4. 8 μm α1 = 1. 0 μm β1 = 4. 0 μm D2 = 13. 5 μm α2 = 0. 5 μm β2 = 4. 0 μm γ1 = 4. 0 μm (Expansion amount on both sides of the convex part 2. 5 μm, wide width 3. 0 μm) D3 = 9. 5 μm δ1 = 6 μm δ2 = 4 μm FIG. 18 is a diagram showing a light intensity distribution of an optical image obtained on the object to be transferred by the transfer pattern of FIG. 17 described above. From this FIG. 18, the following can be understood. (I) In FIG. 18, the light amount (light intensity) of the transferred image of the second slit pattern 2 is increased compared to the above-mentioned FIG. 16. This means that the risk of disconnection of the BM pattern formed corresponding to the second slit pattern 2 is reduced. (II) In FIG. 18, the rounding caused by the decrease in the light amount of the opening angle of the BM image observed in the above FIG. 16 is suppressed, and the curvature of the opening angle is increased. In addition, in FIG. 18, compared with FIG. 16 described above, the fluctuation of the contour lines of the BM pattern along the X direction is also suppressed. As a result, the opening shape of the BM image is close to a rectangle, and the area with a light intensity of 30% or more is increased. This means that a CF with a large opening area and a bright CF can be obtained. (III) In FIG. 18, the strong light amount peak of the transfer image in the BM pattern in the X direction observed in the above FIG. 16 is suppressed, and a uniform light amount distribution is obtained throughout the X direction. This means that unnecessary unevenness is unlikely to occur in the BM's three-dimensional structure. From the results of the above optical simulations, it can be confirmed that the photomask of the present invention exhibits excellent effects.
