EM-5231 LARGE-FIELD LASER-BASED MASK DEFECT REPAIR SYSTEM

EM-5231 system is intended for repair of 5”, 6”, 7”, 9” masks with opaque and transparent defects: mouse bites, protrusions, shorts between features, corner rounding etc.
The system enables repair of 2.2 mm to 6.45 mm masks with various coating types: chrome, chrome oxide, iron oxide.

Optical density and adhesive properties of repairable transparent and opaque defects are in compliance with SEMI standards. The system is in compliance with the interstate laser tool safety standard IEC 60825-1-2013, technical regulations of the Customs Union 004/2011 (low voltage equipment safety).

The System has Certificates of Compliance with the following international standards and directives: SEMI S2-0818Ea, SEMI S8-0218, EN 60204-33:2011, 2006/42/EC Annex I, EN 60204-33:2011.
