Abstract
Photomasks used to produce high frequency microwave transistors have unique and different requirements than do integrated circuit photomasks. Critical dimensions have a tolerance of ± 0.2 micrometers. In most cases the critical geometry is 1.0 micrometer or less. Defect densities are very lenient as compared to integrated circuits. We inspect to a 4.0 A.Q.L. In a two-inch square array we have on the order of 8,000 to 15,000 discrete device patterns. Inspection is made on a random sample as shown on the following table.
