    摘要: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing of a mask blank for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) photolithography, comprising the steps of: providing a substrate having a front surface and a back surface; depositing a film comprising tantalum nitride (TaN) on said front surface of said substrate for absorbing EUV light used during a photolithographic process; and depositing a conductive coating on said back surface of said substrate. Preferably, ion beam sputtering is used for depositing the film comprising tantalum nitride (TaN) and/or the conductive coating on the back surface of the substrate. Preferably, Xenon is used as a sputter gas for ion beam sputtering. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a mask blank for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) photolithography.

    摘要: This invention relates to a mask blank for use in EUV lithography and a method for its production.The mask blank comprises a substrate with a front side and a rear side whereby a coating is applied to the front side for use as a mask in EUV lithography and the rear side of the substrate comprises an electrically conductive coating. The electrically conductive coating is particularly abrasion resistant and strongly adhesive according to DIN 58196-5 (German Industry Standard), DIN 58196-4 and DIN 58196-6 and characterised by a minimum electrical conductivity. The electrically conductive coating is applied by means of ion-beam-assisted sputtering.Since the electrically conductive coating on the rear side is so abrasion resistant and strongly adhesive, the mask blank may be gripped, held and handled by means of an electrostatic holding device (chuck) without any troublesome abrasion occurring.

    摘要: A system and a method for structuring technical information in establishing a knowledge base and trouble shooting in technical equipment. An intelligent, electronical document is created in the quickiest and most efficient way for guidance training and troubleshooting of complex technical equipment. The required concepts are defined which are capable of describing states in a knowledge base, node types are defined indicating what type of information or instruction a node is to contain, views are read containing pictures or graphic descriptions of the equipment, nodes are inserted into the views to provide access points to various parts of the equipment, at least one of the nodes being a rule node containing at least one rule. The rule contains a condition part and a conclusion part, the condition part consisting of conditions on the equipment and the conclusion part containing measures to be taken if the conditions are fulfilled. The method and system are primarily used by developers and troubleshooters. The developers contribute with knowledge about technical equipment and with practical knowledge, such as rules of thumb. The troubleshooters can use the system without specific previous knowledge to perform troubleshooting, being systematically guided by the system to the source of failure.
