A photomask, also called a reticle, is a transparent glass or quartz plate with an array of patterns or images. These materials permit the passage of light in intricate and precise patterns. The patterns or images emerge by creating transparent and opaque regions on the plate through the photolithography process in semiconductor manufacturing. Each pattern consists of opaque and transparent areas that precisely control the passage of light to cast the image of the size and shape of the device elements in a semiconductor circuit. A history of photomask suppliers is also included.
