This document describes the procedure for manually/automatically cleaning masks with CA-40 photomask cleaning solution. There are also instructions for cleaning masks in solvent or piranha (chrome masks only), if/when CA-40 mask cleaning solution can …

A colleague recently used a photomask for standard negative photolithography and some liquid photoresist solidified on the mask. Does anybody have recommended cleaning techniques?

SMIF Mask Cleaning Procedures . Procedure #1: Acetone Rinse, IPA Rinse, N2 Dry. This procedure should be done routinely upon completion of your exposure. This alone should keep your mask clean and ready for use, provided you are using standard SMIF supplied S1813 Positive Resist or Futurrex Negative Resist. It MUST be done in the Solvent hood. 1.

Manual mask cleaner for one 5 inch mask, water under pressure. © Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305. Cleanliness of the photomask is important to the quality of the pattern transfer.

Cleaning of Photomask Substrates Using CO2 Snow. 21st Annual BACUS Symposium on Photomask Technology,Proc. of SPIE, 2003. Insufficient and outdated techniques that may not be extendable to EUV masks!

2017年1月1日 · Not only manufacturing the photomask but also maintaining the photomask without defects such as particles, organics, and haze contamination is very important. This chapter has addressed various cleaning techniques depending on the kinds of contaminants during the photomask cleaning process.

... resist strip processes employ a variety of steps geared towards highly effective removal of organic and inorganic contamination from the mask surface. Figure 1 summarizes the process steps in...

Clean: All substrate surfaces must be chemically CLEANED before coating. Failure to adequately clean the surface may result in defects and/or adhesion problems. Cleaning methods vary widely depending on the history of the substrate. New silicon wafers will need cleaning and may require Standard Cleans 1&2 (aka RCA Cleans) for

How a Photomask is Made 10. Pre-Pellicle Clean – Remove any particulates before pellicle application. – Pellicle is a protective cover that shields the photomask from damage and dirt. 11. Apply Pellicle – Provide a particle barrier to ensure the integrity of the pattern from particles. 12. Audit – Final check. Source: www.photomask.com ...

Our cleaning processes combine both chemical and physical methods. A mixture of sulphuric acid and hydrogen peroxide is used to remove photoresist and organic contaminants. We prioritize quick turns to minimize critical delays or line-stop in fab.
