1. A stencil mask comprising:
a silicon semiconductor thin film in which a plurality of openings are formed; and
a plurality of covering layers formed on a surface of the silicon semiconductor thin film and an inner surface of the openings,
wherein the plurality of covering layers include an insulating film containing a silicon, and the insulating film is harder than the silicon semiconductor thin film.
