        This Schedule 13D is filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1 of the 
Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 
as amended (the "Exchange Act") by E. I. du Pont de Nemours and 
Company, a Delaware corporation ("DuPont") and by Du Pont 
Chemical and Energy Operations, Inc., a Delaware corporation and 
wholly owned subsidiary of DuPont ("DCEO"), with respect to the 
common stock of DuPont Photomasks, Inc., a Delaware corporation 
("DPI"or the "Issuer"):

Item 1.  Security and Issues.

        This Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock, par value 
$0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of DPI.  The principal 
executive offices of DPI are located at 100 Texas Avenue, Round 
Rock, Texas 78664.

Item 2.  Identity and Background

        This Schedule 13D is filed by DuPont and by DCEO.  The 
principal executive offices of both corporations are located at 
1007 Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19898.

        DuPont is one of the two largest United States chemical 
producers and is one of the leading chemical producers 
worldwide.  It conducts fully integrated petroleum operations 
primarily through its wholly owned subsidiary Conoco Inc. and, 
in 1994, ranked eighth in the worldwide production of petroleum 
liquids by U.S.-based companies, tenth in the production of 
natural gas, and sixth in refining capacity.  Conoco Inc. and 
other subsidiaries and affiliates of DuPont conduct exploration, 
production, mining, manufacturing or selling activities, and 
some are distributors of products manufactured by DuPont.  
DuPont operates globally through approximately twenty strategic 
business units.  Within the strategic business units 
approximately 85 businesses manufacture and sell a wide range of 
products to many different markets, including the energy, 
transportation, textile, construction, automotive, agricultural, 
printing, health care, packaging and electronics markets.  
DuPont and its subsidiaries have operations in about 70 nations 
worldwide and, as a result, approximately 50% of consolidated 
sales are derived from sales outside the United States, based on 
the location of the corporate unit making the sale.  Total 
worldwide employment at year-end 1995 was about 105,000 people.

        DCEO was incorporated in Delaware in 1988 and is limited 
by its certificate of incorporation to the making, maintenance 
and management of its intangible investments and the collection 
and distribution of the income from such investments.  DCEO is a 
wholly owned subsidiary of DuPont.






                                2
<PAGE>




        Information concerning the directors and executive 
officers of DuPont and DCEO is contained in Schedule A attached 
hereto.

        During the last five years, none of DuPont or DCEO nor, 
to the best knowledge of DuPont and DCEO, any director or 
executive officer of DuPont or DCEO has been (i) convicted in a 
criminal proceeding or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a 
judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as 
a result of such proceeding has been or is subject to a 
judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, 
or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or 
state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to 
such laws.

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds Other Consideration.

        Not applicable.  See Items 4 and 5.

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.

        Until June 19, 1996, DCEO owned 100 percent of the 
issued and outstanding stock of the Issuer consisting of 
10,500,000 shares of Common Stock.  On that date an additional 
4,000,000 shares of Common Stock was offered to the public in an 
Initial Public Offering (the "Offering").  At the completion of 
the Offering the 10,500,000 shares owned by DCEO amounted to 
approximately 72 percent of the total of 14,500,000 issued and 
outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.  That share will fall to 
approximately 70 percent if the Underwriter's overallotment 
option on an additional 600,000 shares is exercised in full.  
Such option is exercisable by the Underwriters for a period of 
thirty days from the date of the Offering.  The Underwriters are 
Morgan Stanley & Co., Cowen & Company and Needham & Company, 
Inc.
        (a) DuPont has advised the Issuer that it expects to 
reduce its ownership interest in the Issuer over time, subject 
to prevailing market and other conditions.  It does not, 
however, have a specific plan as to the timing or amount of such 
reduction.  

        (b-j) Not applicable.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

        (a) and (b) As of June 19, 1996, DCEO directly owns 
10,500,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.  Such shares 
constitute approximately 72 percent of the total number of 
shares of Common Stock outstanding as of such date.






                                3
<PAGE>




        Except as described below, no director or executive 
officer of DuPont or DCEO beneficially owns any shares of Common 
Stock of the Issuer.  As of June 19, 1996, Charles O. Holliday, 
Executive Vice President of DuPont and John C. Sargent, 
President of DCEO, beneficially owned 1,000 shares and 300 
shares of Common Stock, respectively.

        (c) On May 14, 1996, DCEO's ownership of Common Stock of 
the Issuer was increased from 9,500,000 to 10,500,000 shares by 
the issuance of 1,000,000 shares to it at par value ($0.01).  
The 1,000,000 shares were paid for by a reduction of the balance 
owed on a Master Note by the Issuer to DCEO.  DCEO's percentage 
of ownership of the Issuer was 100 percent before and after the 
transaction.

        (d) No person other than DCEO and DuPont has the right 
to receive or the power to direct receipt of dividends from, or 
the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock of the Issuer.

        (e) Not applicable.

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relation- 
          ships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.     

        In addition to the overallotment option held by the 
Underwriter (described in Item 4, above), the Issuer and DCEO 
have each agreed they will not for a period of 180 days from the 
date of the Offering, without the prior written consent of the 
Underwriters, offer, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or 
contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, 
grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise 
transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of 
Common Stock of the Issuer or enter into any swap or other 
arrangement that transfers to another party, in whole or in 
part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the 
Common Stock.

        DCEO has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement 
dated December 31, 1995 (the "Registration Rights Agreement") 
with the Issuer under which it and its assignees will be 
entitled to certain rights with respect to the registration 
under the Securities Act of shares of Common Stock they hold.  
Subject to certain limitations (including a minimum registration 
of over 1,000,000 shares), each of DCEO and its assignees has 
the right to require the Issuer to register the sale of all or 
part of the shares it holds under the Securities Act (a "demand 
registration").  DCEO and its assignees, in the aggregate, are 
entitled to request up to five demand registrations and each is 
also entitled to include the shares of Common Stock it holds in 
a registered offering of securities by the Issuer for its own 





                                4
<PAGE>




account, subject to certain conditions and restrictions.  The 
Issuer will pay all expenses associated with a registration of 
shares of Common Stock by DCEO and its assignees pursuant to the 
Registration Rights Agreement, other than underwriting discounts 
and commissions, their out-of-pocket expenses or underwriters' 
counsel fees and disbursements, if any, relating to such shares.  
In addition, the Registration Rights Agreement contains certain 
indemnification provisions (i) by the Issuer for the benefit of 
DCEO and its assignees as well as any potential underwriter and 
(ii) by DCEO and its assignees for the benefit of the Issuer and 
related persons.  DCEO and its assignees may transfer their 
registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement 
without the prior approval of the Issuer.  The Registration 
Rights Agreement also provides that while DCEO owns 50% or more 
of the Issuer's Common Stock, the Issuer may not grant 
registration rights to any other person without DCEO's prior 
consent.  DCEO has no current intention to exercise its 
registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement.

        Except for the foregoing agreements, there are no other 
contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal 
or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 and between such 
persons and any person with respect to any securities of the 
Issuer.

Item 7.   Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

        The following agreements are filed as an exhibit to this 
Schedule 13D.

        A.  Agreement dated June 10, 1996, between DuPont and 
            DCEO in which both agree that this Schedule is filed 
            on behalf of both of them.
