摘要： A system and method provides efficient and highly reliable customer and asset tracking. A Personal Digital Key (PDK) is associated with and carried by a user or fixed to an asset. The PDK wirelessly communicates with a receiver/decoder circuit (RDC) that can be coupled to a variety of electronic devices. The RDC authenticates the PDK based on received data and stores information to track customers and provide improved service. The RDC can be coupled to or integrated with a variety of electronic devices. The operation of the electronic device is determined based on an identification code of the detected PDK and an identification code of the RDC. The electronic device, the PDK or both can be configured with a personalized user interface and execute specific functions based on stored state information associated with the PDK and RDC identification codes.

摘要： Inspection of EUV patterned masks, blank masks, and patterned wafers generated by EUV patterned masks requires high magnification and a large field of view at the image plane. An EUV inspection system can include a light source directed to an inspected surface, a detector for detecting light deflected from the inspected surface, and an optic configuration for directing the light from the inspected surface to the detector. In particular, the detector can include a plurality of sensor modules. Additionally, the optic configuration can include a plurality of mirrors that provide magnification of at least 100× within an optical path less than 5 meters long. In one embodiment, the optical path is approximately 2-3 meters long.

摘要： A module for high speed image processing includes an image sensor for generating a plurality of analog outputs representing an image and a plurality of HDDs for concurrently processing the plurality of analog outputs. Each HDD is an integrated circuit configured to process in parallel a predetermined set of the analog outputs. Each channel of the HDD can include an AFE for conditioning a signal representing one sensor analog output, an ADC for converting a conditioned signal into a digital signal, and a data formatting block for calibrations and formatting the digital signal for transport to an off-chip device. The HDDs and drive electronics are combined with the image sensor into one package to optimize signal integrity and high dynamic range, and to achieve high data rates through use of synchronized HDD channels. Combining multiple modules results in a highly scalable imaging subsystem optimized for inspection and metrology applications.

摘要： A sensor for capturing light at the ultraviolet (UV) or the deep UV wavelength includes a multi-layer anti-reflective coating (ARC). In a two-layer ARC, the first layer is formed on either the substrate or the circuitry layer, and the second layer is formed on the first layer and receives the light as an incident light beam. Notably, the first layer is at least twice as thick as the second layer, thereby minimizing an electrical field at a substrate surface due to charge trapping in the ARC. In a four-layer ARC, the third layer is formed on the second layer and the fourth layer is formed on the third layer. The first and third layers may be formed from the same material, and the second and fourth layers may be formed from materials having same/similar indexes of refraction. In this case, the first layer is at least twice as thick as any of the second, third, or fourth layers.

摘要： A method and apparatus for simultaneous high-speed inspection and acquisition of multiple data channels is provided. The method and apparatus enables inspecting semiconductor wafers and reticles and comprises converting a single image region into two image sections, reorienting one image into a transposed configuration enabling simultaneous scanning of two inspected object locations with a single sensor, and controlling acquisition parameters for a second image by using information collected from a first image in a feedback arrangement. The design provides a dual-linear or time-delay-integration sensor operating in a split readout configuration mode to simultaneously provide data from two regions of the sensor using two sets of readout circuitry.

摘要： A method of powering one or more electronic devices in a tire monitoring system using a tire pressure based energy scavenger is provided. With this method, a tire is rotated on a surface to generate pressure changes within the tire. These pressure changes are then converted into electrical energy with a transducer and the energy is stored. The electrical energy or stored electrical energy can then be used to power one or more electronic devices in a tire monitoring system, such as a tire pressure sensor, temperature sensor, acceleration profile sensor, and/or a tire wear monitor. A tire monitoring system with a tire pressure based energy scavenger is also provided.
