The disadvantage is that the structure of the barcode reading device is relatively complicated due to the existence of the telescopic cylinder, and the barcode reading needs to be read twice, which takes a long time and has a high manufacturing cost.

[0017] Now the utility model is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the utility model in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the utility model.
[0018] Please refer to Figure 1 The utility model provides a novel mask scanning device, including a device base 1, a code reader 2, a mask correction platform 3, a positioning cylinder 4 and a clamp 5, wherein the code reader 2 is located above the device base 1, the device base 1 can be installed on other equipment, or a support foot is installed at the bottom of the device base 1, the code reader 2 is used to read the barcode, the mask correction platform 3 is installed on the clamp 5, the clamp 5 clamps the four sides of the mask correction platform 3, the positioning cylinder 4 is fixedly installed on the device base 1, the clamp 5 is fixedly installed on the positioning cylinder 4, and the clamp 5 is used to clamp the mask correction platform 3.
[0019] Specifically, a mounting hole is provided on the outer surface of the device base 1, and the non-retractable end of the positioning cylinder 4 is fixedly installed in the mounting hole of the device base 1. The mounting hole positions the positioning cylinder 4. Eight positioning cylinders 4 are provided, and each of the eight positioning cylinders 4 forms a group of two. The four groups of positioning cylinders 4 are respectively installed on the four sides of the mask correction table 3. The positioning cylinders 4 are used to provide retraction and extension. Eight clamps 5 are provided, and each of the eight clamps 5 forms a group of two. The four groups of clamps 5 are respectively installed on the four sides of the mask correction table 3.
[0020] A mask correction platform 3 is provided above the base 1 of the practical structure device, and positioning cylinders 4 are provided below the platform in the X and Y directions. The output end of the positioning cylinder 4 is connected to a correction clamp 5. After the mask is placed on the mask correction platform 3, the mask is corrected by successively extending and retracting the positioning cylinders 4 in the X and Y directions.
[0021] There is a code reader 2 above the barcode on the mask, the barcode on the entire mask is within the code reading area of the code reader 2, and the mask is placed on a mask correction table 3.
[0022] The action of the positioning cylinder 4 calibrates the mask, and after the correction is completed, the code reader 2 executes the code reading program.
[0023] This method avoids the previous device's use of a segmented reading method for barcode reading, that is, the barcode reader 2 is structurally installed on the cylinder's driving device, and the barcode scanner is moved to two different reading positions through the two telescopic positions of the cylinder. The disadvantage is that the structure of the barcode reading device is relatively complex due to the existence of the telescopic cylinder, and the code reading needs to be read twice, which takes a long time and has a high manufacturing cost. Since the reading is performed in two steps, each code reading needs to wait for the cylinder to move into place, which means that it takes a long time to read the barcode information of a mask, reducing the cycle time of the entire lithography process.
[0024] The utility model greatly shortens the barcode reading time, reduces the complexity of the actuator, and reduces the device cost.
[0025] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
