Abstract

Self supporting, thin membranes, generally used for masks in electron-, ion-beam or X-ray mask feature transfer systems, contain a tensile stress causing mask distortions. We describe a new method to determine the average membrane stress by the measurement of membrane resonant frequencies and its application at stress adjustment examinations of silicon membranes.
