摘要： In an optical scanning system for detecting particles and pattern defects on a sample surface, a light beam is focused to an illuminated spot on the surface and the spot is scanned across the surface along a scan line. A detector is positioned adjacent to the surface to collect scattered light from the spot where the detector includes a one- or two-dimensional array of sensors. Light scattered from the illuminated spot at each of a plurality of positions along the scan line is focused onto a corresponding sensor in the array. A plurality of detectors symmetrically placed with respect to the illuminating beam detect laterally and forward scattered light from the spot. The spot is scanned over arrays of scan line segments shorter than the dimensions of the surface. A bright field channel enables the adjustment of the height of the sample surface to correct for errors caused by height variations of the surface. Different defect maps provided by the output of the detectors can be compared to identify and classify the defects. The imaging function of the array of sensors combines the advantages of a scanning system and an imaging system while improving signal/background ratio of the system.

摘要： Light scattered from illuminated spot on a patterned wafer is first passed through a di-electric filter and then by an optical fiber bundle to a detector. The di-electric filter controls the aperture of the light that is passed to a desired azimuth angle and the optical fiber further limits the aperture.

摘要： A system and method for using a transformation engine to dynamically transform source instance document changes to target instance document changes is presented. A mapping developer creates and stores “model mapping definitions” that map source model elements to target model elements. In turn, the transformation engine receives source instance document changes from a user, and identifies the model mapping definition that corresponds to the changes. The transformation engine analyzes the model mapping definition, and locates a transformer that is defined in the model mapping definition. As a result, the transformation engine uses the transformer to generate a target object based upon the changes to the source instance document. The target object is inserted into a target instance document, which the user views.

摘要： A system and method for automatic instance data mapping generation is presented. A developer uses edit commands, such as mouse commands and keyboard commands, to update a model. For example, a software developer may upgrade “Application XYZ” from version 1.0 to version 2.0 in order to include a simpler approach to import images, as well as the ability to import newer image format types. As a developer updates a model using edit commands, the edit commands are stored in a migration mapping definition. In turn, the migration mapping definition is deployed, along with the updated model, to an end user. The end user then uses the migration mapping definition to migrate instance data generated by the original model to instance data that is usable by the updated model.

摘要： A system and method for developing software using dynamic dual-mode model and data entry is presented. During development, a model developer uses a model window and an editor window to create a model-driven editor. The model window displays model data, and the editor window displays instances of the model data, which results in the model-driven editor. When the developer is ready to deploy the model-driven editor, the model developer simply inhibits the model window. Therefore, the models are not compiled during deployment and, in turn, the model developer does not need to test compiled code. Since the model-driven editor relies upon self-contained models, the models may be updated, added, or removed locally or remotely on an individual basis. In one embodiment, the end user is able to re-enable the model window in order to view model data.

摘要翻译： 介绍了使用动态双模式和数据输入开发软件的系统和方法。 在开发期间，模型开发人员使用模型窗口和编辑器窗口来创建模型驱动的编辑器。 模型窗口显示模型数据，编辑器窗口显示模型数据的实例，导致模型驱动的编辑器。 当开发人员准备好部署模型驱动的编辑器时，模型开发者简单地禁止模型窗口。 因此，模型在部署过程中未编译，反过来，模型开发人员不需要测试编译代码。 由于模型驱动的编辑器依赖于自包含的模型，因此可以在本地或远程单独更新，添加或删除模型。 在一个实施例中，最终用户能够重新启用模型窗口以便查看模型数据。
