SET THE SCALE FOR ADVANCED LITHOGRAPHY TOOLS. The NanoLattice™ (NLSM) 100 nm pitch standard for mask handling tools utilizes gratings with near perfect periodicity to calibrate magnification and scan linearity of CD-SEM and Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM). Make the grade for advanced lithography tools, with the only pitch standard of its kind available below the 130 nm node.

NanoLattice Pitch Standard for Mask Handling Tools (NLSM) Product Description

The NanoLattice lithography tool is a 1.2 mm x 1 mm etched silicon grating with a nominal pitch of 100 nm. Each grating is continuous over a large certified area, permitting tens of thousands of measurements. The NanoLattice lithography tool's global alignment marks on both sides of the chip can be used to assist pattern recognition and automation. Each standard is individually mounted on a 6" x 6" x 1/4" carrier reticle, compatible all photomask handlers.
