Electromigration method for making stained glass photomasks

TL;DR: A glass photomasks having a stained pattern within the glass for use in photolithographic processes are made by exposing and developing a photoresist on a sheet of glass and subsequently migrating stain-producing ions, such as silver and/or copper, into the surface of the glass under the influence of an electric field and moderately elevated temperatures as mentioned in this paper.
Patent

Mask alignment method

TL;DR: In this paper, the first and second masks are mounted in first-and second-support members, adjusting the first support member to align the masks with respect to a common alignment pin, removing the second support member, mounting the substrate in a third-support member, aligning the substrate with the first mask and magnetically holding it in place.
