摘要： An instrument table having two features is disclosed. The first is a stable instrument bench that is constructed of sections of precast reinforced concrete. Each of these sections are then moisture sealed with a plastic coat or paint, then assembled using epoxy and bolts. The second element of the present invention is the replication of a precision surface on the table portion of an instrument bench. The replication of the precision surface entails the application of a dollop of plastic to the selected portions of the instrument table, lowering a jig having a portion of the underside thereof machined or ground to the selected specifications of the surface to be replicated onto the instrument table thereonto, supporting the jig a selected distance above the surface of the instrument table to push out the plastic into a pad of a thickness that is equivalent to the distance above the table at which the jig is supported, and removing the jig after the plastic is cured thus leaving behind the plastic pad that has thereon a precision surface that replicates the machined or ground surface on the underside of the jig.

摘要： In an automatic wafer inspection system, the objective lenses used in micro inspection are mounted on a turret which is attached to an adjustable turret support member. Several lenses may be brought sequentially into position for inspection of the patterned wafer and it is necessary that the handoff be precise so as to maintain the same pattern in the viewing position. V-slots are mounted on the turret in such a location as to be correctly associated with the precise position for each lens. A detent ball spring is biased to drive into a V-slot so as to hold the associated lens in the precise viewing position. When hand-off to the next lens is to be accomplished, a counter force is applied which overcomes the spring bias and pulls the detent ball out of the V-slot. A drive motor is then enabled, which turns the turret a predetermined distance to bring the wide opening of the next adjacent V-slot into approximate alignment with the detent ball and the drive motor is disabled. The counter force is released which allows the spring bias to force the detent ball into the now partially aligned V-slot to precisely align the lens and hold the lens in alignment. The adjustable turret support member is then raised or lowered to automatically focus the lens on the patterned wafer.

摘要： A method and apparatus, and variations of each, for inspecting a wafer defining at least one die thereon is disclosed. The present invention first obtains the electronic image equivalent of two die, and then determines the x and y offset between those electronic images. Prior to inspection for defects, those two electronic images are aligned by adjusting the x and y positions of one electronic image of one die with respect to the electronic image of the other die. Once that is accomplished, the those electronic images are compared to detect any defects that may exist on one of the die.

摘要： An adjustable two-axis lockable vibration resistant mirror mount assembly with an accuracy of approximately two arc seconds features separately adjustable inner and outer coaxial gimbals having locks which clamp the gimbals in the adjusted position without altering that position. An adjusting screw for each gimbal is mounted on the frame and abuts the respective gimbal offset from its pivotal axis. Diagonally opposed pairs of U-shaped locking clips mounted on the outer gimbal straddle bosses on adjacent parts of the frame and inner gimbal, respectively, and are moved tightly against the bosses in directions parallel to the respective gimbal axes by locking screws to secure the gimbals in relatively fixed positions. After locking, the adjusting screws may be removed from the assembly. The center of the reflective mirror surface lies at the intersection of mutually perpendicular pivot axes with the normal to the mirror surface at its center substantially perpendicular to the pivot axes. The intersection of the pivot axes is very close to the front surface of the mount which allows the mirror surface to be desirably close to other elements of the optical system.

摘要： An automatic patterned wafer inspection system includes macro and micro inspection stations having optical axes that are 10 inches apart on an X-Y crossed roller stage which provides 7 inches of travel in each of two directions along two orthogonal axes. A macro-micro transport arm is pivotally interconnected with the stage and supports a turntable with a vacuum chuck centrally located thereon. The transport arm is positioned to move the wafer from a position 5 inches to the left of center of the stage (the macro axis) to a position 5 inches to the right of the center of the stage (the micro axis). Repeatability of positioning of the arms is obtained by using a spring-loaded link to drive the transport arm against a hard stop located at the left and right of the stage. The turntable is mounted so as to have an outside edge adjacent the distal end of the transport arm. A vacuum chuck for holding the wafer is attached to the turntable. A belt and pulley drive is used to rotate the turntable when it is necessary for the wafer alignment.

摘要： An improved conductively cooled laser pumping assembly comprises a metallic housing having an elliptically shaped bore in which a pump lamp and laser rod are supported along the respective focal axes of the bore. The laser rod is mounted on the tapered end of a conductively cooled metal body by resilient strap means at opposite ends of the rod and with a relatively low melting temperature solder between the body and the rod to enhance thermal contact with the rod and to accommodate the different thermal expansions of the rod and body, thereby minimizing rod strain. The elliptical bore is coated with a heat absorbing substance and contains a similarly shaped one-piece snugly fitting removable glass liner or shell. The shell has removable glass or quartz end plates backed by heat absorbing shims and both the shell and end plates have a dielectric reflective-transmissive coating on their external surfaces for reflecting pump light toward the laser rod while transmitting radiation having unwanted wavelengths to the adjacent conductively cooled housing. The shell and end plates are resiliently axially biased as a unit within the housing to limit relative movement of these parts.

摘要： In each configuration, at least one TDI sensor is used to image the portions of interest of the substrate that are substantially uniformly or critically illuminated. In one configuration, the substrate is compared to the expected characteristic features prestored in memory. In a second configuration, a first and second pattern in a region of at least one substrate are inspected by comparing one pattern against the other and noting whether they agree with each other. This is accomplished by illuminating the two patterns, imaging the first pattern and storing its characteristics in a temporary memory, then imaging the second pattern and comparing it to the stored characteristics from the temporary memory. Then the comparisons continue sequentially with the second pattern becoming the first pattern in the next imaging/comparison sequence against a new second pattern. With each comparison whether there has been agreement between the two patterns is noted. After all of the patterns are sequentially compared, the bad ones are identified by identifying those that did not compare with other patterns in the test process. This inspection technique is useful for doing die-to-die inspections, as well as repeating patern inspections within the same die. A variation of the second configuration uses two TDI sensors to simultaneously image the first and second patterns eliminating the need for the temporary memory.
