Abstract
A method for remote mask data jobview through a network featuring 24-hour service, reduced cycle time and lower cost, whereby customers can obtain real time mask data access instead of downloading entire pattern files. Expensive CAD/CAM software is unnecessary for the mask data jobview; instead, only a web browser is required. The method for remote mask data jobview through a network comprising the steps of: storing a mask data file to a jobview computer, wherein drawing software is installed on the jobview computer; logging onto a web server from a customer computer through a first network, wherein a web-based graphic mode emulator is installed on the web server; logging onto the jobview computer from the web server through a second network; using the web-base graphic mode emulator to operate the drawing software; and using a browser installed on the customer computer to operate the drawing software to open and review the mask data file.
