In modern Silicon based manufacturing technology there are numerous masking layers, each masking step requires its own mask. Each mask is using a glass substrate usually with a Cromium pattern. Obviously the mask must fulfill stringent requirements concerning the CD transfer to the wafer and in addition the defects have to be driven to the absolute possible minimum. Based on extensive know how in this area MueTec offers:
- Critical Dimension measurement are a typical application to improve manufacturing yield
- Film thickness measurement of transparent films like Oxide, Nitride or Photo resist
- Defect inspection and review play an important role in order to prevent masks from becoming a limiting factor for overall yield
