Photomask solutions

Large area measurement meet the world's most accurate metrology system

The crucial component in today’s high-quality displays is their set of photomasks, which must match each other accurately. Overlay and registration show up on the nanometer scale, a scale so small that close to one hundred thousand points can be identified on the width of a human hair!

New increasing demands on LCD displays

On average, the size of LCD displays has been growing one inch every year. Resolution has been increasing, and new product ideas – like curved displays – are entering the market. In a world of constant innovation, you need supreme quality to remain competitive. Your technology must also have a high yield in the LCD panel manufacturing stage of your production.
