CATS™ Product Specifics
Jobdeck Editing

Building upon the solid graphical foundation set by CATS Jobdeck Viewing, the Jobdeck Editing option extends both the power of the package and the ability of the user into both interactive and command-driven jobdeck creation and modification. With support for MEBES™, JEOL™ and HITACHI™ jobdecks, as well as the ability for cross conversion between formats, CATS provides the ideal jobdeck creation and verification tools for data prep professionals.

With tools to add, delete, move, and manipulate titles and patterns, as well as powerful features for assisting in photomask layout, the Jobdeck Edit option adds significant capability to the arsenal of manufacturing and verification tools.

In an interactive session, a user may combine the display and verification capabilities provided by Jobdeck Viewing with the pattern, title and exposure modification abilities of Jobdeck Editing. Drop-ins and drop-outs are as simple as point-and-click. Users may make use of standard jobdeck elements through an import ability, and they may also make use of standardized templates through some simple and powerful automation capabilities. Circular and rectangular arraying constructs make precise array calculations simple.

CATS provides a sophisticated command-driven language to provide even further automation and verification abilities. CATS extends the abilities of these tool-specific jobdecks through the use of its own jobdeck format. The CATS Jobdeck Format provides tools and capabilities not available in the tool-specific jobdeck formats with the capability of converting its internal format to the target format.
