Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention discloses a method for manufacturing a square quartz substrate, and particularly relates to the technical field of photomask quartz substrate processing. Background Art
[0002] In photolithography, the mask, also known as the photomask, is a master template for pattern transfer in the microelectronics manufacturing process and is widely used in semiconductors, flat panel displays, printed circuit boards and other fields. The function of the mask is similar to the "negative" of a traditional camera. Its role is to transfer the designed circuit pattern to the photoresist film on the wafer or quartz substrate through processes such as photolithography, development, and etching with the cooperation of the photolithography machine and photoresist, so as to replicate the circuit pattern and achieve mass production. The most important raw material in the mask is the mask substrate. As the carrier of the mask pattern, the mask substrate plays an important role in the precision and quality of the mask product. The substrate must have good optical transmittance, size and chemical stability, flatness, etc., and no minor defects such as sand inclusions and bubbles. Due to the stable chemical properties, high optical transmittance and low thermal expansion coefficient of quartz glass, it has become the mainstream raw material for preparing mask quartz substrates in recent years.
