Cost-efficient Mask Monitoring
Galileo is a high speed, high resolution DUV metrology tool, which offers a new way to IC manufacturers and mask makers for Critical Dimension (CD) Uniformity monitoring by photomask
transmission measurement.

Galileo measures mask CD Uniformity in the Wafer Fab for:
- Incoming mask qualification
- CD Uniformity monitoring

Galileo provides input for scanner exposure corrections based on mask CD uniformity signature (e.g. ASML Dose Mapper) to keep the CDU stable for better wafer yield

Galileo offers:
- Highest sensitivity to mask transmission changes within the mask and over time
- Early warning for wafer yield losses that are related to mask CD Uniformity changes
- High throughput allowing for frequent
monitoring
- Low Cost-of-Ownership & small footprint
