摘要： An apparatus is disclosed for evaluating thermal and electrical characteristics of a sample. An intensity modulated pump beam is focused onto the surface of a sample at one spot. A non-modulated probe beam is focused onto the sample at a second spot, spaced laterally and vertically from the first spot. The distance between the two spots is at least two microns. The modulated power of the reflected probe beam that is in phase with the pump beam modulation frequency is monitored to provide information about the characteristics of the sample. The apparatus is particularly useful in evaluating the integrity of metal lines and vias in a semiconductor sample.

摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed for evaluating surface and subsurface features in a semiconductor sample. In operation, a periodic energy source is applied to the surface of the semiconductor sample to generate a periodic electron-hole plasma. This plasma interacts with features in the sample as it diffuses. The plasma affects the index of refraction of the sample and the changing plasma density is monitored using a radiation probe. In the preferred embodiment, the radiation probe measures the plasma induced periodic changes of reflectivity of the surface of the sample to yield information about the sample, such as ion dopant concentrations, residue deposits and defects.

摘要： A method and apparatus is disclosed for detecting thermal waves. This system is based on the measurement of the change in reflectivity at the sample surface which is a function of the changing surface temperature. The apparatus includes a radiation probe beam that is directed on a portion of the area which is being periodically heated. A photodetector is aligned to sense the intensity changes in the reflected radiation probe beam which results from the periodic heating. These signals are processed to detect the presence of thermal waves.

摘要： A method and apparatus is disclosed for detecting defect surface states in any material and in particular semiconductors. In the subject device, a periodic localized excitation is generated at the surface of the sample with an intensity modulated pump laser beam. A probe laser beam is directed to the surface of the sample and changes in the probe beam which are in phase with the modulated pump frequency are detected. In the preferred embodiment, periodic changes in the optical reflectivity of the surface of the sample induced by an intensity modulated excitation beam are detected by measuring the corresponding modulations in the reflected power of the probe beam. Any time dependence of the probe beam modulated reflectance signal is monitored. An evaluation of defect surface states is then made by investigating the time dependence of the magnitude and/or phase of this probe beam modulated reflectance signal.

摘要： An apparatus and method is disclosed for an improved diverter valve comprising a valve housing defining an internal chamber. A main port and a first and a second port communicate with the internal chamber in a Y-shape configuration. A spool valve element is slidably disposed within the internal chamber of the valve housing. An actuator moves the spool valve element between a first position and a second position for diverting fluid between the main port and the first port and the main port and the second port. The improved diverter valve is suitable for use with viscous fluids operating under high or low temperature and high pressure.
