Abstract: Disclosed is a method, program product and apparatus for optimizing numerical aperture ("NA") and sigma of a lithographic system based on the target layout. A pitch or interval analysis is performed to identify the distribution of critical pitch over the design. Based on the pitch or interval analysis, a critical dense pitch is identified. NA, sigma-in, sigma-out parameters are optimized such that the critical feature will print with or without bias adjustment. For features other than the critical dense features, adjustments are made in accordance with OPC, and lithographic apparatus settings are further mutually optimized. Accordingly, lithographic apparatus settings may be optimized for any pattern concurrently with OPC.

Abstract: A non-contact imaging apparatus (10) for examining an object (12) having complex surfaces or shape deformations. The imaging apparatus (10) includes at least one imaging device (20) for obtaining a scanned image of the exterior surfaces of the object being examined. A predetermined reference image (29) of an ideal model for the object (12) is stored in a memory. An image register (24) is coupled to the imaging device (20) and to the memory containing the reference image (29) of the ideal model for the object (12). A transformation estimator (26) compares the scanned image (22) to the reference image (29) and provides a transform which maps the scanned image (22) to the reference image (29) and provides a set of registered object data points. One or more filter modules (100) process the registered object data points with a priori information to reduce noise and to further enhance the accuracy and precision of the registration. A gauge estimator (200) is coupled to the filter module (100). The gauge estimator (200) utilizes the processed and registered object data to determine deformation parameters of the object (12), which are then displayed to an operator as gauging information.

Abstract: A multifunction apparatus according to the present invention transmits an electromagnetic wave signal to a memory card carried by a user who enters a detection area, scans identification information of the user for user authentication, and starts a warm-up operation immediately after the authentication. Accordingly, the time period spent by the user starting from the user's arrival at the multifunction apparatus until the completion of the warm-up operation is shortened. In addition, the multifunction apparatus determines whether the user remains in the detection area after a job is completed, and transitions from a normal mode to an energy-save mode when it is determined that the user is not remaining in the detection area, the normal mode being in a state where sufficient electrical power is supplied for a job execution, the energy-save mode being in a state where the power supply is decreased compared to the normal mode.

Abstract: Photomultiplier tubes with improved collection of incident radiation, especially from the periphery of the front face of the tube, and that more efficiently couple the collected radiation to the photocathode, and moreover have higher packing densities when assembled into arrays, resulting in enhanced imaging characteristics. The improvements in radiation collection and photomultiplier tube packing density are gained by a combination of several features including: tapering the edges of the faceplate so that the faceplate subtends an area as large or larger than any other cross-sectional area of the photomultiplier tube; forming the junction between the faceplate and metal tube on the underside of the faceplate, and in such a manner as to avoid obscuring the optical path between the incident radiation and photocathode; and utilizing the tapered edge of the faceplate as a reflector to couple radiation incident on the periphery of the faceplate to the photocathode.
