Abstract

A deposition mask includes a mask body and a through-hole provided in the mask body and through which a deposition material passes when the deposition material is deposited on a deposition target substrate. The mask body satisfies y≥950 and y≥23x−1280 when an indentation elastic modulus is x (GPa) and a 0.2% yield strength is y (MPa). When the mask body satisifies these inequalities, the generation of recesses during ultrasonic cleaning of the mask can be suppressed.
