    摘要: This invention relates to a high resolution X-ray imaging device for congruently combining an optical image from a video system with a fluoroscopic X-ray image from a fluoroscopic imaging system. An X-ray beam is directed towards a predetermined position of an object to be inspected and an X-ray image is received at the fluoroscopic imaging system for generating the fluoroscopic X-ray image. A mirror is positioned between the fluoroscopic imaging system and the X-ray beam. The X-ray beam passes substantially unattenuated through the mirror. Preferably, the mirror is formed of a composition having elements with an atomic number of less than 14. An optical image of the predetermined location of the object is reflected off of the mirror. The optical image and the fluoroscopic X-ray image can be combined into a superimposed image.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit fault analyzing apparatus includes an electron beam tester and controller. The electron beam tester includes an electron gun assembly for generating a primary electron beam and forms a voltage contrast image on the basis of a detection amount of secondary electrons obtained by irradiating the primary electron beam from the electron gun assembly onto a semiconductor integrated circuit serving as a target to be tested and supplied with a test pattern signal, thereby specifying a faulty circuit portion of the semiconductor integrated circuit using the formed voltage contrast image. The controller sets, immediately before the test pattern signal is supplied to the semiconductor integrated circuit, at least one of a power and a signal which are supplied to the semiconductor integrated circuit to be a voltage different from a voltage obtained in the presence of the test pattern signal to cause the electron beam tester to acquire a voltage contrast image free from charge-up phenomena in synchronism with the start of supplying the test pattern signal.

    摘要: Disclosed is a system that determines whether input and output leads of semiconductor components are present and properly soldered to a printed circuit board. The system includes a signal source which is connected to a wiring trace on the printed circuit board, which is soldered to the lead being tested. A capacitive test probe is placed on top of the component and connected to a capacitance measuring device. The signal source signal is capacitively coupled through the lead of the integrated circuit package being tested to the capacitive test probe, so if a predetermined capacitance is measured by the capacitance measuring device, the lead is connected to the circuit assembly. As the capacitances being measured are small, the capacitive test probe may include an amplifier, a shield or a buffer circuit to reduce stray capacitance.

    摘要: The fault detecting apparatus comprises an electro optical lens-barrel having a rectangular cathode (101), three four-pole lenses (117, 119, 121), and a deflector (129). The four-pole lenses are controlled to form such a rectangular beam that a ratio of a reduction ratio at the sample surface of an electron beam locus along a longitudinal direction of the rectangular cathode to a reduction ratio at the sample surface of an electron beam locus along a lateral direction of the rectangular cathode becomes equal to a ratio of a length to a width of the rectangular cathode and in addition a width of the beam is equal to a required minimum fault detection width. Further, the deflector (129) is controlled by a deflection controller (130) in such a way that the rectangular beam can be scanned (raster scanning) by moving the rectangular beam at every scanning stroke corresponding to the minimum fault detection width in both the longitudinal and lateral directions of the rectangular beam.

Special embodiments of the electro-optic measurement device are described. An electro-optic sensor element is provided with an electrically conductive tip at one side and with an electrode at the other side, so that an absolute and calibrated measurement is possible. The measurement beam can be high-frequency pulsed with a pulse (Lp) per period of the test signal (SI). The pulse series is low-frequency modulated and the pulses exhibit, relative to the test signal, a constant phase relationship during the first half periods of the modulation signal and a varying phase relationship during the second half periods so that accurate and reliable measurement is possible.

    摘要: A testing method for active matrix liquid crystal display substrates having thin film transistors provided with a plurality of pixel electrodes, a plurality of source lines, and a plurality of gate lines formed on a substrate. A high resolution electro-optical element whose optical properties change when an electrical field is impressed on it is disposed above the active matrix liquid crystal display substrate and separated therefrom by an extremely small gap. Electric current is caused to flow between the pixel electrodes on the active matrix liquid crystal display substrate and the transparent thin film electrodes on the surface of the electro-optical element, creating an electrical field in the electro-optical element. By detecting local changes in the optical properties of the electro-optical element, defects in the pixels of the active matrix liquid crystal display substrate can be detected.

    摘要: A method of measuring a voltage with an electron beam apparatus considers a change in a convergence factor due to a change in an S curve, as well as an error in a secondary electron signal level with a phase of measurement being scanned at random, to accurately measure the voltage. The method measures the voltage of a voltage measuring spot on a sample, prepares an analytic voltage by superimposing a probe voltage having an average of 0 V and no correlation with the measured voltage on the measured voltage, measures a secondary electron signal level with the analytic voltage, computes a convergence factor around a slice level set on the S curve according to a correlation between the secondary electron signal level and the probe voltage and according to an autocorrelation of the probe voltage, and updates the analytic voltage according to the convergence factor, thereby updating the measured voltage.

    摘要: An imaging method creates a two-dimensional image of a voltage distribution or a capacitance distribution across a surface of a substrate under test using an electro-optic modulator which is positioned and biased with respect to the surface of the substrate. The method involves a first coarse offsite calibrating step to compensate for nonuniformities in the light emerging from the modulator. Then, for each successive portion of the substrate over which the modulator is to detect characteristics of the substrate, the system undergoes a modulator relocating step, a modulator levelling step, a modulator gapping step, a fine onsite calibrating step, and a measuring step. An apparatus is disclosed for levelling the bottom surface of a modulator into a substantially coplanar spacial relationship with a portion of top surface of the underlying substrate being tested monitors light emerging from at least three regions on the top surface of the modulator in order to determine the relative distances of three corresponding regions of the bottom surface of the modulator from the underlying top surface of the substrate being tested. In one embodiment, three transducers are used to control the spacial orientation of the modulator. The method and apparatus see special application in detecting defects in LCD display panels.
