Qual-Dep™ Reticle Qualification Contamination Standards are crafted to precise customer specifications, often following initial development using Dev-Dep™ Development Contamination Standards. These standards offer customizable attributes for each deposit on your reticle, including:
- Deposit Pattern Type
- Deposit Size and Position
- Particle Material
- Particle Size
- Particle Count
Applications
- Reticle inspection tool qualification
- Reticle inspection tool traceable calibration
- Inspection tool performance matching
Substrates
Deposits can be applied to various substrates, with a focus on reticles (photomasks). While customers often supply their own reticles, MSP also offers optical photomask blanks. Our services ensure precise deposition on customer-provided reticles, meeting specific requirements for defect inspection and quality control.
Substrate Type | MSP-Supplied Substrate Sizes | Customer-Supplied Substrate Sizes |
---|---|---|
Optical Reticle (Photomask) | 6 inch x 6 inch x 1/4 inch (Blank Only) | 6 inch x 6 inch x 1/4 inch (All Types) |
EUV Reticle (Photomask) | N/A | 6 inch x 6 inch x 1/4 inch (All Types) |
Pellicle | N/A | TBD* |
Customizable Deposits
Our Reticle Qual-Dep™ Qualification Contamination Standards are tailored to customer specifications, often following initial development with Dev-Dep™ Development Contamination Standards. Customizable attributes for each deposit include:
- Deposit Pattern Type: Spot, Full, Arc, Ring
