Abstract:
Methods, defect review tools, and systems for locating a defect in a defect review process are provided. One method includes acquiring one or more images and data from an inspection tool. The one or more images illustrate an area on a specimen in which a defect to be reviewed is located. The data indicates a position and features of the defect within the area. The method also includes acquiring one or more additional images of the specimen proximate the position of the defect indicated in the data using an imaging subsystem of a defect review tool. In addition, the method includes identifying a portion of the one or more additional images that corresponds to the one or more images. The method further includes determining a position of the defect within the portion of the one or more additional images using the data.
Abstract:
Spraying apparatus and methods that employ multiple nozzle structures (54) for producing multiple sprays of particles, e.g., nanoparticles, for various applications, e.g., pharmaceuticals, are provided. For example, an electrospray dispensing device may include a plurality of nozzle structures, wherein each nozzle structure is separated from adjacent nozzle structures by an internozzle distance (L). Sprays of particles are established from the nozzle structures by creating a nanuniform electrical field between the nozzle structures and an electrode electrically isolated therefrom.
