    Abstract: Tolerances to be communicated to the manufacturer for a photomask fabrication process that are assigned as desired values of feature sizes to be realized on the photomask, are freed of restrictions by predefining, for a first feature size, a first desired value and a first tolerance assigned to the first desired value. The real discrepancy between the first feature size and the first desired value is taken into account when predefining desired values assigned to the further feature sizes to be provided on the photomask. As a result, a value which corresponds to a first approximation to the permitted feature size tolerance on the semiconductor wafer is provided for the tolerances of the desired values.

    Abstract: A reticle control system and method in which each reticle is unambiguously assigned a structured reticle data set, and the content of each reticle data set is automatically changed and/or supplemented depending on use of the associated reticle in the semiconductor component production process for which the reticle was produced. The reticle data set is used to identify and control the reticles over the entire production sequence. The ability to change or supplement the reticle data sets facilitates progressively storing production-dictated information related to the use of the associated reticles, thereby enabling effective control of the reticles in the production process.

    Abstract: The method of dynamically monitoring a reticle includes preventively macro monitoring and defect inspecting with regard to mechanical loading, including particle deposits or electrostatically induced damage, and energy load, including the associated changes to the reticle material and surface characteristics. Different surface distributions of the absorber layer as well as characteristics of the exposure system, such as N 2 purging of the projection lens/reticle area in order to reduce contamination and recrystallization on optically active surfaces are considered.
