The Travka mask set

The travka mask set consists of 7 masks:

The numbers in the end of the mask names refer to the average exposed area of a positive photolithography process. The masks are designed for characterisation of dry etches and holds a number of 1x1 or 1x2 cm fields. The positions of these fields are the same on all masks.

Each field has a number of features (for instance trenches of variable widths) distributed in such a way that the exposed area within the field corresponds to value for each mask.

Below is shown the field distribution on a 4 inch wafer. Click on the links in the figure to find more information on the individual fields.
