    摘要: In one embodiment, a surface analyzer system comprises a radiation targeting assembly to target radiation onto a surface, a reflected radiation collecting assembly that collects radiation reflected from the surface, and a signal processing module. The signal processing module generates an image of magnetic characteristics of the magnetic disk, wherein the image comprises a plurality of servo sector arcs, locates a sample of points on a plurality of the servo sector arcs, fits a circle to the sample of points on each of the plurality of servo sector arcs, and determines at least one pivot-to-gap measurement from the radius of the circles.

    摘要: An automated, non-invasive method for classifying, detecting, and counting micropipes contained within silicon wafers, and generally any assortment of transparent wafers. Classifying, detecting, and counting micropipes takes place through the use of a data processing algorithm that incorporates information regarding: defect size; pit signature; area of pit signature when comparing a topography, specular, or scatter images; and detecting a tail within the standard pit signature. The method of the present invention teaches the development of a topography defect map, specular defect map, and scatter defect map for a complete analysis of the surface of a particular transparent wafer. Conventional detection, classification, and counting of micropipes involve characterization of micropipes in a manual fashion and rely upon an extremely invasive form of sample preparation. The method disclosed in the present invention is completely automated and non-invasive with regards to the treatment of the transparent wafer to be analyzed.
