An electron beam mask substrate including a substrate layer to form a membrane layer support through backside etching, an etching stopper layer formed on the substrate layer, and a membrane layer formed on the etching stopper layer. When the tensile stress of the membrane layer is reduced with the reduction in the thickness of the layer and when the membrane part having the membrane layer and the etching stopper layer is deformed during backside processing owing to the influence of the stress of the etching stopper layer thereon, and/or when the membrane layer is deformed within a range not satisfying the mask pattern positioning accuracy during removal of the etching stopper layer, then the membrane stress of the membrane layer and the membrane stress of the etching stopper layer are so correlated that the membrane part is not deformed during backside processing, and/or so correlated that the membrane layer is not deformed over the range satisfying the mask pattern positioning accuracy during removal of the etching stopper layer. This allows for the production of a tough electron beam mask for which the membrane stress of the etching stopper is specifically so controlled as to reduce the deformation of the layer structure, and to provide an electron beam mask substrate and an electron beam mask blank which are for producing the electron beam mask. |
