MBS2TIFF/GDSII is a program that converts a MEBES pattern file and jobdeck into high resolution bitmap and GDSII mask data. It is available as both a library (DLL) and as an executable. MBS2TIFF is typically used in an OEM environment by equipment companies that wish to compare camera data against the CAD data used to produce the mask.
Raw bitmaps can be created in memory or TIFF/BMP formatted bitmaps (monchrome) can be written to disk depending on the needs of the calling program.
GDSII Stream Output
Alternatively, the output can be specified to be in GDSII stream format.
