The Zygo Zaris Mask is a metrology and inspection tool. The Zygo Zaris Mask is manufactured by Zygo.[1][2]
What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedMask inspection tools typically operate by scanning the photomask with an optical microscope using brightfield, darkfield, or confocal imaging techniques.
Die-to-die or die-to-database comparison algorithms identify anomalies that deviate from the intended pattern or from adjacent identical patterns.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Zaris Mask is used after the photomask has been patterned and etched, as a final quality check before the mask is released to the lithography fab.
Inspection results feed back into mask repair or rework loops, ensuring that only defect-free masks are used in wafer exposure.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedPrimary applications include defect detection, critical dimension verification, and contamination monitoring on photomasks.
The tool supports both advanced-node logic and memory mask production, as well as specialty masks for MEMS and photonics.
