Our MAGICS series mask blank defect inspection/review equipment has received high evaluation and trust over many years and is widely used as the industry standard for shipping inspection at mask blank manufacturers and acceptance inspection and process management at mask shops. In recent years, various technological innovations have been made in mask technology, including the application of EUV and new structure masks, to respond to cutting-edge miniaturization processes. To respond to these needs, further high performance and high functionality of mask blank inspection has become urgent.

To respond to these next-generation needs, we have developed the latest model M9650/51, which achieves high detection sensitivity for defect inspection of EUV mask blanks, photomask blanks, and substrates.

M9650/51 is based on MAGICS core technology and significantly improves defect detection sensitivity for minute defects by refreshing the inspection optical system and adopting the high-speed inspection circuit technology cultivated in our mask pattern inspection equipment.

We have commercialized the MAGICS series M9650/M9651 (hereinafter, M9650/51), a mask blank defect inspection equipment for cutting-edge semiconductors from design rule 5nm generation onwards, responding to high sensitivity and high throughput.
