A method for improving semiconductor yield by in-line repair of defects during manufacturing comprises inspecting dies on a wafer after a selected layer is formed on the dies, identifying defects in each of the dies, classifying the identified defects as killer or non-critical, for each killer defect determining an action to correct the defect, repairing the defect and returning the wafer to a next process step. Also disclosed is a method for determining an efficient repair process by dividing the die into a grid and using analysis of the grid to find a least invasive repair.

A system (100, 600, 700) for fastening objects to a wall or ceiling (120) comprises a rear, wall-anchor section (105, 607, 705) with a bore, and a front, pivotable section (110, 602, 604, 720), rigidly abutted together with no gap, aligned by a projection (135), and connected by a “living” hinge, strap, flap, lanyard or other type of connector (115). The pivotable section has a sharpened tip (112, 630, 635, 725) for penetrating the wall while the fastener is forced into the wall by a hammer or other driving tool or device, or manually by hand. The two sections of the fastener have a tapered, elliptical cross-section (111) which both prevents rotation of the fastener and locally reduces load-responsive pressure in the wallboard. To install, the axes of the wall-anchor and pivotable sections of the fastener are first aligned. The fastener is forced into the wall one of the above means. Then a pin (140) is manually inserted into the bore of the wall-anchor section. When the pin meets the projection the pivotable section is forced to rotate about the hinge. A locking tooth (139) secures the pin by interfering with either threads or notches in the pin. Alternatively, the pin forces past the projection and wedges between the projection and the bore of the wall-anchor section.

A wall and ceiling fastening system and method useful for applications such as hanging or securing objects to hollow walls and ceilings is provided. In one embodiment, the fastening system includes a drivable anchor having at least one pivotable section and a pin configured to be inserted into a channel of the anchor. The anchor is driven into a wallboard of the wall or ceiling with a hammer or a suitable tool. As the pin is inserted into the anchor, a lever or rack and pinion action between the pin and the pivotable section causes the pivotable section to pivot towards and come into contact with an interior surface of the wallboard. Depending on the fastening application, the pin can have a suitable head such as a pan screw head, a flat screw head, a round screw head, an oval screw head, a countersunk screw head, a machine screw head, a hook head, an eye hook head, a ring head, a swivel head, a shoulder head, a nut, a bolt head or other suitable head. In addition, the pin can have a ratcheted body, a threaded body, or a ribbed body. In some embodiments, the cross-sectional profile of the anchor is elongated so as to provide a larger supporting surface between the anchor and the wallboard. In addition, the cross-sectional profile of the anchor channel can be elongated so that a wider range of pin body sizes and types can be accommodated. The anchor body may also have one of more stabilizing ribs.

A method and apparatus for a structure editor implementing a “top-down” approach to designing a Web page. The user uses a “drag and drop” interface to add, delete, and move display elements to define the hierarchy of the site and to define the layout of each page in the site. The present invention automatically generates a layout for each page. This layout contains display elements that represent the links between pages of the site. The present invention automatically adds, removes, and deletes the appropriate links between the pages of the site as the user moves display elements. After the user has defined the hierarchy of the site and the layout of each page in the site, the user “publishes” the site. The publish function automatically generates HTML for each page of the site in accordance with the display elements of each page, yielding true WYSIWYG pages for the site.
摘要:
A thin film photovoltaic cell includes a light absorption layer of Group I-III-VI2 semiconductor materials and a high surface energy thin film layer that improves adhesion between the light absorption layer and an underlying electrode layer. The high surface energy thin film either replaces or is deposited on top of the back electrode to decrease the formation of voids at the back interface during absorber growth/deposition and thereby enabling a wider process window and improved cell efficiencies. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
