Pellicle Inspection and Pellicle Mounting System for CLIOS
51PA CM
Enabling the automated inspection and mounting of pellicles while linking with FPD photomask inspection system in the production line
Features
- This one system completes from inspection to tentative and final mounting of a pellicle.
- By connecting this system with CLIOS, particle adherence on photomasks and pellicles is remarkably reduced.
- Equipping of an ionizer keeps clean environment preventing particle adherence and prevents productivity deterioration caused by re-mounting of pellicles.
- The jigs for clamping a pellicle are stored in a stocker by different sizes and various sizes of pellicles can be appropriately processed, accordingly.
- Exfoliate paper is peeled off without excess stress due to detection of tensile strength at the clamping position when a pellicle is pulled out from the transport case.
- Alignment operation is available, while mounting a pellicle, by measuring the distance between the mask edges and pellicle edges by CCD cameras set at four positions.
- High operability is realized by equipping an automatic particle inspection function on a pellicle surface, a review function, a function to eliminate particles by Air Blow and a function to reverse the front and the back surfaces.
- This system works effectively for quality management and defective pellicle analysis, besides Good/No Good verification, because the detect particles can be observed either under bright view or under dark view and image data of particles can be storable.
- After tentatively mounting a pellicle on a photomask, the pillicle / photomask is transported to a nearby press machine. In the press machine, a number of sucking pads that utilize atmospheric pressure are installed at regular interval and final mounting of pellicle can be performed by application of constant pressure and time.
Applications
- Automated transfer and mounting of pellicles in FPD photomask production process
- Particle inspection on a pellicle surface by reflective scattering light (Quality verification inspection of a pellicle)
