Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method for mask inspection and to a mask inspection installation. A method according to the invention involves a lighting system lighting a mask with a lighting beam pencil, and said mask being observed with an observation beam pencil which is directed onto a sensor arrangement, wherein the light hitting the sensor arrangement is evaluated in order to check the mapping effect of the mask. The lighting system produces a spot of light with limited refraction on the mask, and during the evaluation of the light hitting the sensor arrangement a finite component of the light setting out from the mask to produce the observation beam pencil is disregarded.
