Abstract

A method for marking a mask set to insure minimum mismatch between the masks when they are assembled into a set. Each mask in the set is evaluated against a known fixed standard, identified and marked such that when the set is assembled and utilized to produce an integrated circuit minimum mismatch between each element in each mask in the set will be realized.
