Abstract:
An electronic apparatus for the mass production of masks for integrated circuits, comprises a master mask arranged in an evacuated chamber. In response to diffuse ultra-violet radiation, it emits from its transparent areas electrons which are focussed by uniform electric and magnetic fields which are parallel to one another. The master mask is positioned in relation to the wafer being printed, by means of piezoelectric elements which receive supply voltage increments produced following the illumination of two pairs of markers respectively arranged on the master mask and the wafer.
