Abstract
Today, the semiconductor industry is booming, because data centers, state-of-the-art devices, power semiconductors, etc. have high demand. In particular, EUV is leading the industry as a novel technology for advanced lithography. On the other hand, mature product lines are also supporting the overall semiconductor industry as a whole. Photomasks have become a very important key parameter for the semiconductor industry. The manufacture of photomasks with stable quality and on-time delivery is essential for stable chip production, but it is very challenging to identify manufacturing problems because of the wide variety of photomasks and patterns. In this study, we established a methodology to analyze the data of various equipment, processes, and materials in photomask manufacturing, and obtained various improvement results using Digital Transformation.
