In the manufacturing of LCD, TFT, CF, and Touch Panel, masks (also known as masks) are used to transfer circuit design graphics to chips in batches, carrying key information such as graphic design and process technology. Defects such as graphic errors and particle scratches on masks can affect the yield of the final product, thereby affecting product performance and reliability.
The VPTek STORM 2000SL series large-sized mask inspection equipment can be applied to mask manufacturing and substrate manufacturing processes in flat panel display industries such as LCD, TFT, CF, Touch Panel, OLED, PDP, etc.
STORM 2000SLV
STORM 2000SLV is a defect inspection equipment developed by VPtek for large-sized Mask substrates, suitable for detecting particles, pinholes, and dirt in polished plates, chromium plates, and uniform adhesive plates. Adopting advanced optical systems, particle and pinhole identification and inspection can be completed through a single scan. For Mask Blank substrate manufacturers, it has significant advantages such as high precision, high efficiency, and ease of use.
