--For Development and Application of LSI Mask Writers-- TOKYO - Wednesday, February 13th 2013 [BUSINESS WIRE/ ME NewsWire] Toshiba Corporation (Toshiba) (TOKYO:6502) and NuFlare Technology, Inc. (NFT) (JASDAQ:6256) have been awarded The 59th Okochi Memorial Grand Production Prize for their joint development and practical application of electron beam (EB) mask writers. The award ceremony will take place in Tokyo on March 22. LSI circuits are fabricated by using lithography tools to project and shrink master circuit patterns onto wafers. The master circuit patterns are first written on masks by EB mask writers. Previously, most EB mask writers used point beams to write the patterns, and these had to become smaller with the scaling of LSIs. This increased the write time for masks and became the key challenge in improving productivity in mask making. Toshiba and NFT together developed a practical EB mask writer with better writing accuracy and productivity that
