[0002] Photolithography is an indispensable process technology in the semiconductor industry. Most photolithography processes use contact exposure, that is, the mask and the wafer need to be in close contact before exposure. During the mask production process, the mask needs to be sent to the photolithography machine for processing. The photolithography machine is basically equipped with a corresponding plate rack to facilitate the loading and unloading of the mask.
