Overview


MAGICS M9650/M9651 is Lasertec's defect inspection and review system for EUV mask blanks, announced in November 2018.

It combines the high detection sensitivity needed to inspect next-generation high-quality mask blanks with high throughput suited to outgoing and incoming inspection in volume production. Based on the core technology of MAGICS, the industry-standard mask blank inspection system, it has completely renewed inspection optics and uses high-speed inspection circuit technology developed for mask pattern inspection systems.

Detection sensitivity is greatly improved not only for substrates but also for each layer of leading-edge mask blanks. It handles everything from multi-stage cassettes for blank makers to RSP and MRP for mask shops and Dual Pods for EUVL. M9651 supports inspection of line-and-space monitor patterns.
