Abstract

Automated reticle identification faces new challenges as the industry approaches the arrival of 300 mm wafer fabs and the possible introduction of 230 mm reticles. Data Matrix is a useful and established encoding format, and is proposed as a successor to current barcode formats. The Data Matrix feasibility experiment is described and results discussed.
