    Abstract: Passivation coatings and gettering agents may be used in an Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) source which uses tin (Sn) vapor as a plasma “fuel” to prevent contamination and corresponding loss of reflectivity due to tin contamination. The passivation coating may be a material to which tin does not adhere, and may be placed on reflective surfaces in the source chamber. The gettering agent may be a material that reacts strongly with tin, and may be placed outside of the collector mirrors and/or on non-reflective surfaces. A passivation coating may also be provided on the insulator between the anode and cathode of the source electrodes to prevent shorting due to tin coating the insulator surface.

    Abstract: A microlens of an inorganic material having a relatively high index of refraction is formed with a convex lower surface for refracting light from above through an underlying spacer layer to converge on a photodiode therebelow. The microlens and photodiode may be replicated in an array of such elements along with color filters and CMOS circuit elements on a semiconductor chip to provide an image sensor. The spacer layer, which has a relatively low refractive index, is subjected to a selective isotropic etch through an opening in an etch mask to define a concave surface that forms an interface with the convex lower surface of the microlens upon subsequent conformal deposition of the material of the microlens.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for detecting an object. The method includes capturing a binary image of the object, and determining a projection of the binary image to a first axis. The method further includes determining a difference between a profile of a target object to the first axis and the projection at a plurality of positions along the first axis, and detecting the object by determining if the difference between the profile and the projection is less than a threshold at one of the plurality of positions.

    Abstract: A system for detecting one or more faulty sensors in a multi-sensor monitor includes a partitioning module for partitioning sensor values generated by the multi-sensor monitor into two distinct sets, a training set and a validation set. The system also includes a training module for training a model using the sensor values belonging to the training set and applying the model to each sensor value belonging to the validation set so as to determine a range of acceptable sensor values. The system further includes an estimating module for obtaining an estimated sensor value for each sensor using the model, and a fault-determining module for testing at least one sensor combination if a sensor value is not within its range of acceptable sensor values. A sensor combination includes at least one sensor whose estimated sensor value is not within the range of acceptable values.
