| As the world's largest mask making operation, TSMC's mask service
is the interface between designers and our world class fabs. Mask
services are linked and synchronized between our manufacturing facilities
through a computer integrated management (CIM) system. For advanced
technology masks, TSMC routinely conducts optical proximity check
(OPC) conversions of GDS data. Silicon process tools and process materials,
as well as design-for-manufacturing (DFM) requirements, are covered
in the OPC models to facilitate the largest production window. TSMC
regularly conducts mask checks for electro-static discharge (ESD)
damage, scratches, particle deposition, pellicle frames and aging
to keep each mask in the best possible condition. |
