Abstract: A photomask blank comprising a transparent substrate
on which are formed at least one light-shielding film and at
least one antireflective film minimizes film stress and
eliminates substrate warp following deposition of the light-shielding
film and the antireflective film, when each film
is composed of a CrCO layer, a CrCON layer, or a combination
of CrCO and CrCON layers. The photomask blank can be
accurately patterned without distortion to give a photomask.

IPC: G02B27/14

Abstract: A retroreflector (32) has three mutually-orthogonal reflective surfaces arranged around an
optical axis (12). The reflective surfaces stop short of the optical axis to provide a central region
of the retroreflector which transmits incident light (M,N) and a peripheral region of the
retroreflector which retroreflects incident light (C,D). When the reflector is used in a Jamin-type
interferometer (10) with another reflector (34), this enables the interferometer to be used for
measuring displacement between the reflectors. 
     In the interferometer, a projected beam (M) is disposed between a pair of return beams
(D,N) and/or one of the return beams (N) is disposed between a pair of the projected beams
(C,M). This enables a first contiguous area of a face of a beam splitter (22) to be provided with a
phase-shifting coating (28) to produce a phase quadrature relationship between a pair of
interferogram beams (G,I). This simplifies the masking required when applying the coating (28). 
     In manufacture of the beam splitting member (22), a thin-film, beam-splitting, metal
coating is applied to the member, and the member and coating are baked so as to modify the phase
shift produced by the coating to enable the phase quadrature relationship. During baking a beam
of light is projected at the coating with an angle of incidence of substantially π/4 radians so that
the beam is split into a transmitted component and a reflected component. The intensities or
phases of the transmitted and reflected components are monitored during baking, and the baking
is terminated when the monitored intensities or phases have a predetermined relationship. This
improves the reliability and/or accuracy of the resulting phase shift.

Abstract: A pack (10) of self-opening serially-arranged plastic bags (11) of the "star-seal" type defining eight superimposed wall layers in the bag. Mounting tabs (20) form a part of top portions of each of the eight layers and are positioned in superimposed positions and each includes an aperture (21) for mounting the tabs (20) on a tab retaining device (D) of a rack (R) in a non-front-side-free manner. Each of the tabs (20) includes means for rendering the tab (20) detachable and providing a predetermined detaching strength. In one embodiment, each of the tabs (20) are detachable from the rack (R) and in another embodiment, each of the tabs (20) are detachable from the bag (11). A frangible bond (25) is formed between the rear layer and the front layer of each successive bag (11) in the pack. This frangible bond (25) has a predetermined strength (i) which is greater than the predetermined detaching strength of two of the tabs (20) and (ii) is weaker than the predetermined detaching strength of the remaining six tabs (20) to allow the leading bag (11) of the pack (10) (when pulled by a user for removal) to disengage from the pack (10), while (before disengagement) pulling the succeeding bag (11) in the pack (10) to cause detaching of the two leading of the tabs (20) for self-opening of the succeeding bag (11). <IMAGE>
