Abstract
In this study, After Develop Inspection was used to inspect Cr photomasks incorporating iP3600 and ZEP7000 resists at several thicknesses. The detected defects were analyzed and compared to defects found after etch. A test mask with programmed defects was also created and tested to characterize the sensitivity of this new capability.
