Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of photomask substrate finishing technology, specifically to an online inspection system for the surface of photomask substrate finishing. Background Technology
[0002] As a core material in semiconductor lithography, the microscopic morphology precision and optical performance parameters of the photomask substrate directly determine the chip lithography resolution and product yield.
[0003] Generally, the microstructure and optical performance testing of photomask substrates are performed in stages using discrete equipment, which has significant technical drawbacks: First, discrete testing leads to asynchronous multi-dimensional data acquisition, making it difficult to establish a precise correlation between morphological features and optical performance due to unavoidable time deviations and spatial misalignments. Second, the lack of a cross-dimensional collaborative calibration mechanism makes single-dimensional test results susceptible to interference from environmental noise and system errors, resulting in insufficient reliability. Third, the test parameters are mostly fixed configurations, which cannot be adapted to photomask substrates of different materials and thicknesses, resulting in poor versatility. Fourth, the testing and finishing equipment are disconnected, and the test results cannot be fed back to the processing system in real time to optimize parameters, leading to a high defect rate. Fifth, the test data is stored in a scattered manner, lacking full-process traceability capabilities, making it difficult to iteratively optimize the test model and parameters through historical data.
