    摘要: A method for compensating for critical dimension (CD) variations of pattern lines of a wafer, by the correcting the CD of the corresponding photomask. The photomask comprises a transparent substrate having two substantially opposite surfaces, a first back surface and a second front surface on which front surface an absorbing coating is provided, on which the pattern lines were formed by removing the coating at the pattern lines. The method comprises: determining CD variations across regions of a wafer exposure field relating to the photomask; and providing Shading Elements (SE) within the substrate of the photomask in regions which correlates to regions of the wafer exposure field where CD variations greater than a predetermined target value were determined, whereby the shading elements attenuate light passing through the regions, so as to compensate for the CD variations on the wafer and hence provide and improved CD tolerance wafer.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for generating colored images of at least one color within a light-sensitive glass sample. The glass sample contains light-sensitive chemical components that acquire at least one of a multiplicity of colors in response to actinic radiation and subsequent heating to a temperature that causes color to appear. The method comprises focusing a pulsed laser beam to a target location within the glass, irradiating a plurality of pulses focused in the target location within the glass sample, thus generating a zone of increased opacity to the visible light at the target location and a resultant localized actinic radiation at that zone, displacing the focus point of the laser beam and the glass sample relative to each other by the displacing device in a predetermined manner so as to produce a plurality of zones of increased opacity that form an image, and heating of the sample to a temperature that causes color to appear at the zones of increased opacity.
