Abstract:
An optical metrology system is provided with a data analysis method to determine the elastic moduli of optically transparent dielectric films such as silicon dioxide, other carbon doped oxides over metal or semiconductor substrates. An index of refraction is measured by an ellipsometer and a wavelength of a laser beam is measured using a laser spectrometer. The angle of refraction is determined by directing a light pulse focused onto a wafer surface, measuring a first set of x1, y1, and z1 coordinates, moving the wafer in the z direction, directing the light pulse onto the wafer surface and measuring a second set of x2, y2 and z2 coordinates, using the coordinates to calculate an angle of incidence, calculating an angle of refraction from the calculated angle of incidence, obtaining a sound velocity v, from the calculated angle of refraction and using the determined sound velocity v, to calculate a bulk modulus. Hardware calibration and adjustments for the optical metrology system are also provided in order to minimize the variation of the results from tool to tool down to about 0.5% or below.
Abstract:
A wireless communication system, wireless communication system and method, the device on the base station side in the wireless communication system including: an edge user equipment (UE) identification unit configured to identify the edge UE on the enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH) according to the information about the UE received from the UE; and an interference coordination unit configured to apply an interference coordination plan to the EPDCCH of the edge UE. Applying the interference coordination plan to the EPDCCH of the edge UE improves service quality of the edge UE; and setting a proper degree of enhanced control channel element aggregation for the edge UE reduces the number of blind tests of the UE, thus increasing the system response speed.
