An exposure mask in the form of a binary mask for intensity modulating 0th order diffracted light and a mask pattern production method using the exposure mask are disclosed on which a mask production error, an influence of flare of an exposure apparatus and a development characteristic of resist reflect on the design. The exposure mask has a block area in which a plurality of pattern sites in each of which light intercepting patterns for intercepting illumination light emitted from an exposure apparatus and light transmitting patterns for transmitting the illumination light therethrough are formed at an equal ratio and an equal pitch are disposed. The pattern sites which form the block area are disposed such that the pitches of the light intercepting patterns and the light transmitting patterns are equal while the ratio varies gradually. |
