Abstract:
Provided are a photomask and a method of correcting errors thereof. The photomask includes a multilayer reflection film covering one side surface of a substrate and an energy receiving layer covering the other side surface of the substrate. The method includes determining a local correction position on a frontside surface of the photomask according to a detected error of the photomask, and locally applying an energy beam to a backside surface region of the photomask aligned with the local correction position in a thickness direction of the photomask. The invention may be applicable to structures other than photomasks that benefit from modification of surface heights or selectively applied stress.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method are provided to generate an ultrasound to be transmitted from an ultrasound irradiation device. The apparatus and the method include acquiring a medical image including anatomical information about a subject, and calculating characteristics of a tissue in the subject, which may affect propagation of the ultrasound based on the medical image. The apparatus and method also determine a parameter of the ultrasound to create a focal point on the subject using the calculated characteristics, and generate the ultrasound according to the determined parameter.

Abstract:
A focal point controlling method of a focused ultrasound therapy apparatus includes receiving a plurality of focal point positions on which a focal point of an ultrasonic wave is to be formed, and receiving a sound pressure that is to be applied by the ultrasonic wave to each of the plurality of focal point positions, determining a particle velocity at each of a plurality of elements included in an ultrasound transducer, and radiating the ultrasonic wave according to the determined particle velocity. The particle velocity may be determined based on the received sound pressure that is to be applied by the ultrasonic wave to each of the plurality of focal point positions, by reflecting a sound pressure distribution of the ultrasonic wave that is generated by each of the plurality of elements.
