摘要： A method for producing a measurement structure for measuring alignment of patterns formed in one or more layers of patternable material uses multiple exposure tools having different resolution limits and maximum expose field sizes. The measurement structure includes multiple complementary and coincident parts. An abutting field pattern is exposed and stitched in a layer of patternable material using a first exposure tool and a first mask. The abutting field pattern includes a first portion of the multiple complementary parts. A periphery pattern is exposed in the same layer or in a different layer of patternable material using a second exposure tool and a second mask. The periphery pattern includes a second portion of the multiple complementary parts. A maximum expose field of the first exposure tool is smaller than the maximum expose field of the second exposure tool.

摘要： Charge packets are transferred from a pixel array in an image sensor to a horizontal shift register. Each charge packet is shifted to a non-destructive sense node. Each charge packet is non-destructively sensed and a signal representative of a number of charge carriers in the charge packet is produced. Respective charge packets are directed to a charge multiplying output channel when the signal representative of the number of charge carriers in each charge packet indicates the charge packet will not saturate the charge multiplying horizontal shift register. Respective charge packets are directed to a charge bypass output channel or an amplifier when the signal representative of the number of charge carriers in each charge packet indicates the charge packet will saturate the charge multiplying horizontal shift register.

摘要： Multiple images are captured where the exposure times for some of the images overlap and the images are spatially overlapped. Charge packets are transferred from one or more portions of pixels after particular integration periods, thereby enabling the portion or portions of pixels to begin another integration period while one or more other portions of pixels continue to integrate charge. Charge packets may be binned during readout of the images from the image sensor. Comparison of two or more images having different lengths of overlapping or non-overlapping exposure periods provides motion information. The multiple images can then be aligned to compensate for motion between the images and assembled into a combined image with an improved signal to noise ratio and reduced motion blur.
