Phase mask cleaning services

Prolong the life of your phase masks

Phase mask contamination can occur from fiber residue during writing and is affected by handling and environmental conditions. Regular, effective cleaning can extend the life of your phase masks.

  • Assessment of phase mask condition upon receipt

Guidelines for effective phase mask cleaning

Ibsen's phase mask shipments come with recommendations for a regular, basic cleaning process using acetone, IPA, and de-ionized water. Here are key tips for this process:

  • Use semiconductor-grade chemicals to prevent residue and film buildup

  • Assessment of phase mask condition post-cleaning

  • Ensure wet-to-wet processing to prevent acetone from drying before IPA application

  • Prefer spin-drying; careful blow-drying is also acceptable
