Abstract: Methods and systems for building a photomask from obtained pattern information relating to a photomask that exhibits defects on wafer. Spatial domain analysis is conducted on the pattern information so that corrective photomask structures can be generated and applied to a photomask layout. A photomask is built using the corrective photomask structures. The photomask is verified for effectiveness.

Abstract: A method for forming a three-dimensional microstructure includes providing a photosensitive glass substrate; exposing the photosensitive glass substrate to energy through a continuous tone, variable transmission photomask so as to form opaque portions in the photosensitive glass substrate, each of the opaque portions having one of a variety of depths extending through the entire thickness of the photosensitive glass substrate; and removing the opaque portions so as to form three-dimensional features in the photosensitive glass substrate.

Abstract: A microfluidic panel including at least one substrate, one or more channels formed in the substrate, and fluid disposed within the one or more channels. The fluid is selected to store thermal energy and the microfluidic panel is adapted to convert the thermal energy into useable energy or condition the energy to adjust optical wavelength passband of the panel.

Abstract: A pellicle assembly for large-size photomasks including a frame member configured to be affixed to a large-size photomask substrate, a substantially rigid and transparent pellicle membrane affixed to the frame member so as to protect at least a portion of the large-size photomask substrate from contamination during usage, storage and/or transport, and a coating on at least one of top and bottom surfaces of the pellicle membrane that binds the pellicle membrane to prevent separation of pellicle membrane material in the event of breakage.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a photomask including the steps of providing a photomask blank, inspecting the photomask blank to determine presence of one or more defects in the photomask blank, wherein the one or more defects comprise one or more photomask substrate defects, and compensating for the one or more photomask substrate defects by roughening one or more surface portions of the photomask substrate.

Abstract: A chirped Bragg grating is fabricated in an optical fiber by exposing the fiber to a coherent beam of light through a parallel phase mask having a series of progressively chirped segments produced on a lithography tool. The chirped phase mask is fabricated by exposing a photoresist-coated substrate to an image writing element such as an electron beam or a laser according to a set of parameters provided to the lithography tool. The parameters include a basic grating pattern for each segment, a value that defines the expansion or contraction of the grating pattern and an axis location to which the grating pattern is to be written to the substrate. By selecting machine commands that implement these parameters with a minimum throughput overhead, the mask can be produced in a reduced time, and therefore with increased accuracy.
