Embodiment 1

[0045] figure 1 The implementation process of the method for reducing the stripes of the photomask provided by the first embodiment of the present invention is shown, and the details are as follows:

[0046] In S101, the accuracy change curve of the overlapping pattern of the pixel pattern and the overlapping part of the scanning belt is measured by the photomask detection plate.

[0047] Because the scanning band and the pixel pattern of the lithography machine equipment show periodic changes, when the overlapping area of ​​the two scanning bands partially overlap the edge of the pixel pattern, the photomask strips will appear in the production. The maximum width of the scanning band of the lithography machine equipment is fixed. In the vertical direction of the scanning band, the energy exposed to the entire photomask plate also changes periodically. The specific lithography equipment exposure energy cycle is as follows figure 2 As shown, the overlapping area with the scanning zo...

[0056] Image 6 The flow chart for reducing the stripes of the photomask provided by the second embodiment of the present invention is shown, and the details are as follows:

[0057] S601, according to the spot size of the lithography machine equipment and the number of beams, calculate the pattern shrinkage coefficient of the fringe caused by the difference in beam energy for each pixel pattern.

[0058] Since the lithography machine has a multi-beam lithography machine, for a multi-beam lithography machine, the energy of the beam will be different between multiple beams. When different beams are finally subjected to lithography, the difference in beam energy will cause The exposed photomask is different, resulting in stripes appearing on the final photomask. Therefore, for multi-beam lithography equipment, according to the spot size of the lithography equipment, the number of beams is calculated for each pixel pattern caused by the difference in beam energy Shrinkage factor. Spe...

[0064] Figure 7 The flow chart for reducing the stripes of the photomask provided by the third embodiment of the present invention is shown. For ease of description, only the parts related to the embodiment of the present invention are shown.

[0065] S701, design and manufacture photomask inspection board;

[0066] Among them, the photomask inspection board uses the highest design capability of photomask manufacturing equipment or flat panel display exposure equipment to design the smallest seam.

[0067] S702: Perform matrix measurement on the glue or light intensity of different areas of the photomask plate through the photomask detection plate according to the division interval, measure each matrix point, and obtain the deviation of each matrix point.

[0068] Perform matrix measurement on the entire page at intervals of 5mm-20mm, such as 700X800, the window size of the exposure machine is 600X700, and at 10mm intervals, the measurement accuracy should reach the light of the litho...

Abstract

The invention is applicable to the field of photomask production, and particularly relates to a method and device for lowering stripes of a photomask plate. The method comprises the following steps: designing and making a photomask detection plate; carrying out matrix measurement the coated adhesive of the photomask plate or luminous intensity of different regions by using the photomask detection plate according to the dividing intervals, and measuring each matrix point to obtain deviation of each matrix point; and separating a pattern into small units according to the dividing intervals of the matrix points, measuring the region formed by four points in the small unit matrix according to the coordinates of each vertex of the separated pattern, calculating the deviation of the point according to the four points in the small unit matrix, and carrying out back repair on the pattern before photoetching. The pattern of the photomask plate adopted by photoetching is subjected to back repair according to the reasons for generating photomask plate stripes, so that the back repair effect after photoetching counteracts the stripes caused by errors, thereby lowering the stripes of the photomask plate.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of photomask production, and in particular relates to a method and device for reducing the stripes of a photomask plate. Background technique [0002] The flat panel display is based on the reflection, transmission, or light emission of each pixel. If the intensity of reflection, transmission, or light emission of these pixels is under the same system driving conditions, if the reflection, transmission, or light emission is The intensity of is inconsistent. For areas with the same brightness and color, human eyes will perceive images of different brightness or colors. The main reason for these differences is that the same pixel pattern in the display design, due to errors in various links in the manufacturing process, causes the size of some pixels on the final product to change slightly. Because the human eye is extremely sensitive to light, the human eye eventually sees areas or lines with changes in light and dark in a...
