FastTrack+ is a specifically designed path for photomask customers who require a high level of support. Photo Sciences guides the customer through the CAD phase and helps the customer select the most appropriate write tool and job path. Photomasks requiring automatic inspection and add-on features such as pellicles must also follow the FastTrack+ path.

FastTrack+ benefits include:

  • Laser and E-beam Pattern Generation
  • Extensive CAD Support
  • Full Inspection Services
  • Pellicles
  • Up to 14"x14" Pattern Area
  • Customized Inspection Plan
 

Mask:

  • 1X Chrome and Iron Oxide Master (4" to 7"), for which required specifications are not within Fast Track program parameters.
  • Chrome and Iron Oxide Master (4" to 7"), for which required specifications are not within Fast Track program parameters.
  • Chrome and Iron Oxide Reprints (4" to 7").
  • Automatic measurements and defect inspection performed upon request.
  • PSI will add a P.C.M. (Process Control Monitor) and measure it as C.D. (Critical Dimension) when a customer does not specify his or her C.D. or X,Y coordinate values.   PSI will manually measure up to 5 C.D. locations at no additional cost.
  • C.D. features should not be circles, curved or angular features, or larger than 20 microns; however, if a Customer requires PSI to measure them, these measurements will be based on best effort only.

Data:

  • GDS, DXF, DWG, BMP, CIF, PG and other drawing formats are acceptable for Sure Track Products. (Other data formats may be acceptable. Please ask your PSI representative.)
  • Digitizing, conversion and other data editing services are available.  
  • Plots or Data can be provided for Customer's approval.
  • Data center (0,0) must match plate center.
  • The immediate area within 0.250" (6.35mm) from the edge of the plate is reserved for PSI's P.C.M. and Serialization; therefore, the mask's active data area (including text) should be contained within the remaining area.  
  • File Name (for all data formats) as well as Top Structure Name (only for GDSII) should not contain any space(s) between characters or invalid characters.
  • Customers must supply data or drawing(s) and specifications necessary to build masks.

Inspecton:

  • All measurements, inspection and defect repair will be visual unless automatic measurements or inspection is requested.
  • Automatic measurements and inspection are available at additional cost.
  • Visual measurements, inspection and repair only for Chrome Reprints and Iron Oxide Masters/ Reprints.
  • Metrology tools are calibrated with relevant traceable standards.
  • Iron Oxide features will be measured on tools calibrated with Chrome standard artifacts.

Delivery:

  • Masters = Ready to ship in 5 to 7 business days after the receipt of order or approval, depending on the capacity.
  • Reprints = Add 2 days for 2 copies per layer or 10 copies per order, whichever happens first.   Add another 2 days for the next 2 copies per layer or 10 copies per order.  
  • Digitizing = 24 to 48 hours after receipt of order.   Data Conversion = 24 hours after receipt of order.
  • Automatic Measurements/Inspection = Based on the type of measurements or inspection required.
  • Cutting = Add 2 days.  
  • Pellicles = Based on the availability of pellicle(s).

Write Tool:

  • Heidelberg DWL 200/400 (LPG: Laser Pattern Generator)
