Abstract

Selete is developing a series of defect inspection and repair systems for electron projection lithography (EPL) stencil mask infrastructure, that includes tools and software development, and also verification by EPL exposure systems. The work is carried out in collaboration with Dai Nippon Printing, Toppan Printing and HOYA. A system for defect inspection of EPL stencil mask is developed with TOKYO SEIMITSU and HOLON. Another system for defect repairs is developed with SII NanoTechnology. The performances of these systems need to be verified for their further improvement and optimization. In this paper, we verified a series of defect inspection and repair systems through a sequential process. We can say that EPL mask infrastructure is established and our work has made significant contribution to it.
