Abstract:
A pattern inspection system for inspecting a substrate surface on which a predetermined pattern is formed with radiation of an electron beam and an optical beam. the pattern inspection system includes a radiation and which radiates an electron beam to the substrate, a detection unit which detects a secondarily generated signal attributable to the radiation of the electron beam, a retrieval unit which retrieves an image from the signal detected by the detection unit, and an image processing unit which classifies the retrieved image depending on a type of the image.
Abstract:
There are provided an inline inspection system and inspection method for inspecting the substrate surface on which semiconductors and circuit patterns are formed by radiating thereto white beam, laser beam or electron beam, and reviewing, inspecting and discriminating the detected roughness and figure defect, particle and moreover electrical defect on the surface with higher accuracy within a short period of time with the same instrument. Thereby, automatic movement to the position to be reviewed, acquisition of image and classification can be realized. On the occasion of identifying the position to be reviewed on a sample and forming an image through irradiation of electron beam on the basis of the positional information of defect detected with the other inspection instrument, an electrical defect can be reviewed with the voltage contrast mode by designating the electron beam irradiation condition, detectors and detecting condition depending on a kind of defect to be reviewed. The image obtained is automatically classified in the image processing unit and the result is then additionally output to the defect file.
Abstract:
In a method of designing a layout of an LSI chip, which LSI chip has boundary scan registers, after arranging I/O cells and before arranging an internal logic circuit and the like, I/O connection boundary scan registers are preferentially arranged in empty regions of the I/O cells. Output I/O control boundary scan registers are arranged at intermediate points between the I/O connection boundary scan registers, respectively, or a chip side closer to the intermediate points. Thereafter, before arranging cells constituting other circuits and creating a wiring pattern, buffer cells are inserted into nets of test signals to the boundary scan register led to a test control circuit.

Abstract:
A crankcase compression, two cycle, internal combustion engine including an arrangement for facilitating starting by reducing the viscosity of lubricant which may remain on the cylinder bore after engine shut down. This viscosity decrease is accomplished by adding a low viscosity fluid through the cylinder bore during starting if the temperature of the engine is below a predetermined amount.
