Photronics ( PLAB ) specializes in photomask production. Photomasks are critical components for the manufacturing of semiconductors, including flat panel displays ((FPD)). In the manufacturing process, photomasks work as templates that transfer the circuit design to the semiconductor wafer or flat panel display. That is the way to scale semiconductor production by facilitating the construction of complex designs through a process of manufacturing circuit layers....
