azonenberg: how did those laserlab masks look under the scope?
<azonenberg>
nmz787: whoops, forgot to upload pics
<azonenberg>
give me a minute
<soul-d>
getting close here http://imgur.com/a/tVsni although started to break stuff again after that :P better let it rest for a bit and do a clean up of code
<azonenberg>
They were a bitr tricky to image
<azonenberg>
What I ended up doing was darkfield imaging (scattered light) with a texwipe under the mask
<azonenberg>
so what you're seeing is basically a silhouette of the surface since i couldn't image the emulsion directly
<azonenberg>
this is nominal 12.5 micron line/space i believe
<azonenberg>
i'd have to double check the GDS to be sure
<azonenberg>
the mask was for a client's project a long time ago and was obsolete before it even got made
<azonenberg>
so i cant show the whole thing but i dont think the NDA covers generic alignment marks :P
<azonenberg>
The coloring in the background is just due to the texwipe not being 100% flat
<soul-d>
2 lines to much to show how you feel about nda
<soul-d>
but it's in there :P
<azonenberg>
actually i only cant talk about their technology, which i'm not
<azonenberg>
the fact that a generic alignment pattern from the lab made it onto their mask is irrelevant
<azonenberg>
anyway, first impressions - slight bubbles in the surface of the emulsion
<azonenberg>
small, maybe 5 microns or less, and not likely to show up in litho
<azonenberg>
Grains are visible around the edges of the lines at high mag, maybe 500nm or so across each
<soul-d>
got sofar today that i had some sd-card code somewhat working with reading and writing but his state machiene isn't so clean so probably gonna rewrite it but saves me hassle in seeing how it operates
<azonenberg>
Some very slight grain in the "light" parts of the mask are also visible
<soul-d>
now was trying to build memory or operate memory for display
