The T-4000 series of synthetic quartz glass boasts not only high purity, but also a great number of other highly desirable properties such as superior heat resistance, light transmittance, electrical insulation, and chemical stability. In addition, the properties of synthetic quartz glass and the advanced technology of polishing make photomask substrates suitable for exposure process of minute pattern in the manufacture of large liquid crystal displays (LCDs).

Transmittance Measurement

Image of Transmittance Measurement
CoorsTek’ large photomask substrates have a transmittance of 90% or higher at wavelengths of 250 nm and above.

Exposure processes

The exposure process is one of the most important processes which determines the resolution of a liquid crystal panel.
This is the process in which the light is transmitted through the lens and the photomask is projected onto the glass substrate.

Next, the unnecessary chrome is dissolved from the patterned mask.

Inspection/measuring
Finally, the patterned mask is inspected and measured.

Washing/shipping
After the mask passes inspection, it is washed with pure water and is shipped.
