摘要:
An apparatus for monitoring a trench profile of a substrate includes a radiation-emitting unit for irradiating the substrate with infrared radiation. The intensity and/or polarization state of the infrared radiation reflected from the substrate is measured at a multitude of measuring frequencies. An analyzing unit determines the respective reflectance and relative phase change and/or relative amplitude change in relation to the respective measuring frequency. In addition, a reflectance spectrum, a relative phase change spectrum and/or a relative amplitude change spectrum may be obtained. By performing a Fourier transformation of the respective spectrum, a secondary Fourier spectrum is obtained. The secondary Fourier spectrum plots a virtual amplitude against corresponding values of a frequency periodicity that correspond to a substrate depth. Peaks of the virtual amplitude may indicate reflective planes within the substrate at respective depths. Thus, rough sections in the trench profile may be identified without modeling.

In order to measure a surface profile of a sample, an imprint of the surface profile to be examined is produced in a transfer material. The sample contains processed semiconductor material and is in particular a patterned semiconductor wafer or part of a patterned semiconductor wafer. The transfer material is deformable and curable under suitable ambient conditions. The transfer material may be a thermoplastic material or a material which is deformable as desired after application on a substrate and cures in one case by means of irradiation with photons having a suitable wavelength or alternatively heating. The transfer material may be configured in such a way that the imprint produced is the same size as or alternatively of smaller size than the surface profile. The imprint produced is subsequently measured by known methods.

One embodiment of the invention provides a method for determining or inspecting a lateral dimension or a volume of a recess in a layer at a surface of a substrate or a property of a material arranged in the recess. The layer having the recess is irradiated with an electromagnetic scanning radiation having a wavelength that is greater than a lateral dimension of the recess, and an electromagnetic response radiation that emerges from an interaction of the scanning radiation with the layer having the recess is received. Characterization data, which characterize the interaction between the layer having the recess and the scanning radiation, are ascertained from the received electromagnetic response radiation, the characterization data mapping the lateral dimension or the volume of the recess or the property of the material arranged in the recess. The lateral dimension or the volume of the recess or the property of the material arranged in the recess is determined or inspected on the basis of the characterization data.

An apparatus includes an evaluating unit and a peak detection unit. The peak detection unit may be configured to determine at least one peak parameter of a peak in a Fourier transformed reflection spectrum of infrared radiation reflected off a sample that may comprise trench structures. The evaluation unit may be configured to determine from the at least one peak parameter and from a correction value containing information about an effective refractive index of the sample, a trench parameter of the trench structures.

A detonating arrangement for missiles in which, as a result of a change of the magnetic field of a permanent magnet at an approach to a ferromagnetic object, a voltage will be induced in an induction element, which is transmissible to the control input of electronic evaluating circuit powering a detonating medium.
摘要:
A detonator for the electrical ignition or detonation of detonating materials, such as explosives. The detonator incorporates at least one piezo element which is at least partially encompassed by a secondary explosive. The piezo element is subjected to a steeply rising voltage impulse and thereby rapidly expanded so as to generate a shock wave which will detonate the secondary explosive.
