Method of manufacturing a photomask with flexography

摘要

A method of manufacturing a flexographic printing plate includes designing a photomask patterned design. The photomask patterned designed is laser-ablated into a thermal imaging layer. The laser-ablated thermal imaging layer is laminated to a top side of a flexographic printing plate substrate. A bottom side of the flexographic printing plate substrate is exposed to UV-A radiation. The top side of the flexographic printing plate substrate is exposed to UV-A radiation. The thermal imaging layer is removed. The flexographic printing plate substrate is developed. A flexographic printing system for printing a photomask includes an ink roll, an anilox roll, a printing plate cylinder, a flexographic printing plate disposed on the printing plate cylinder, and an impression cylinder. The flexographic printing plate comprises embossing patterns corresponding to a photomask patterned design. The flexographic printing plate may be used in a flexographic printing system to manufacture a photomask with flexography.

1. A method of manufacturing a photomask with flexography comprising:
manufacturing a flexographic printing plate comprising a photomask patterned design; transferring opaque ink from an ink pan to an ink roll; transferring opaque ink from the ink roll to an anilox roll; transferring opaque ink from the anilox roll to the flexographic printing plate comprising the photomask patterned design; and transferring opaque ink from the flexographic printing plate to a photomask substrate.
