Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to mask structures and methods of manufacture. The method includes determining a plane through a frontside surface and a backside surface of a mask, each plane representing a flatness of the frontside surface and the backside surface, respectively; subtracting, using at least one computing device, a difference between the plane of the frontside surface and the plane of the backside surface to find a thickness variation; generating, using the at least one computing device, a fitting to fit the thickness variation; and subtracting, using the at least one computing device, the fitting from the thickness variation to generate a residual structure for collecting a residual flatness measurement.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising smoothing, using the at least one computing device, the backside surface prior to subtracting the difference between the plane of the frontside surface and the plane of the backside surface to find a thickness variation.
