Overview
A blank mask becomes a photomask after a pattern is formed on its surface; the photomask is used in a lithography system to transfer that pattern to a wafer. This product is supplied primarily for photomasks used in i-line and g-line lithography in the display industry. Standard blank masks consist of a quartz substrate, a low-reflectance Cr film and a photoresist layer. Complete manufacturing, cleaning and inspection processes have been developed for substrate machining, coating and photoresist application. Other substrate glasses, coatings and photoresist types can be customized. The quartz substrate provides high surface flatness, smoothness and low defect levels. Multiple double-sided grinding and polishing operations and cleaning techniques enable efficient, high-yield production.

Applications
Fields involving photolithography, including integrated-circuit chip fabrication, FPD (flat-panel displays), and MEMS (microelectromechanical systems), including sensing, biological, optical and radio-frequency MEMS.
Key Features
A low-reflectance Cr film is deposited on one surface of the quartz substrate, providing low reflectance, extremely low transmittance, few defects, no pinholes and resistance to cleaning. Development of composite films combining metallic Cr and inorganic compounds has resulted in a fabrication process with excellent optical performance and stable physical and chemical properties. Photoresist is coated on the low-reflectance Cr film; standard versions offer AZ1500 or IP3500 photoresist. Photoresist coating is also available to customer-specified types and parameters.
