    摘要: A photomask blank substrate is selected for use in a process where at least a masking film or a phase shift film is deposited on a top surface of a photomask blank substrate to form a photomask blank, the deposited film is patterned to form a photomask, and the photomask is mounted in an exposure tool. The substrate is selected by simulating a change in shape in the top surface of the substrate, from prior to film deposition thereon to when the photomask is mounted in the exposure tool; determining the shape of the substrate top surface prior to the change that will impart to the top surface a flat shape when the photomask is mounted in the exposure tool; and selecting, as an acceptable substrate, a substrate having this top surface shape. The selected substrate has an optimized top surface shape that improves productivity in photomask fabrication.

    摘要: A photomask blank substrate is made by polishing a starting substrate to a specific flatness in a principal surface region on a top surface of the substrate so as to form a polished intermediate product, then additionally polishing the intermediate product. Substrates made in this way exhibit a good surface flatness at the time of wafer exposure. When a photomask fabricated from a blank obtained from such a substrate is held on the mask stage of a wafer exposure system with a vacuum chuck, the substrate surface undergoes minimal warping, enabling exposure patterns of small geometry to be written onto wafers to good position and linewidth accuracies.

    摘要: A multi-orientation cryostat 5 for a superconducting magnet 4 for use in a plurality of orientations. The cryostat 5 comprises a vessel 6 for holding cryogenic liquid and, leading away from the vessel, a quench duct 7 for allowing escape from the vessel of gas generated by boiling of the cryogenic liquid due to quenching of the magnet. The quench duct 7 is sinuous so as to provide at least to differently orientated anti-convection portions 71, each portion for functioning as an anti-convection portion with the cryostat in a respective corresponding orientation.
