Patent EP-0744641-A2 (EP)
Inventor: STANTON STUART
IPC: G03F7/20
Filed: 1996-05-15
Abstract: An illumination system for use in photolithography using a laser or radiation beam source. A deformable mirror is used to shape the beam of laser radiation to obtain global uniformity. A profile sensing means is used to detect any global non-uniformities. The output of this sensing means is fed to a controller for calculating a mirror contour and controlling actuators that shape the deformable mirror to obtain a globally uniform intensity. A diffractive or diffusive optical element, such as a microlens array, eliminates local non-uniformities. Movement of this element eliminates speckle caused by interference due to the coherent beam source. A uniform intensity profile and appropriate angular spread is achieved with very little transmission loss and is automatically compensated for degraded or changing source performance. The illumination system is particularly applicable to a scanning photolithography process as used in the manufacture of semiconductor substrates.

Abstract: A fast response gain tracker (610) operates to adjust the magnitude of an echo cancellation signal developed from an echo canceler. The fast response gain tracker (610) provides an adjusted echo cancellation signal that is subtracted from an echo-corrupted received signal to provide an echo-canceled signal. In particular, the fast response gain tracker (610) correlates the echo-canceled signal with the echo cancellation signal from the echo canceler. If the gain of the gain tracker is correct the echo is canceled and there is zero correlation between the echo-canceled signal and the echo cancellation signal. However, if the echo level changes then a residual echo component appears in the echo-canceled signal, which now becomes correlated with the echo cancellation signal. In response, the magnitude of the gain tracker automatically adjusts the gain of the echo cancellation signal to match the change in echo level and thereby subsequently eliminates the residual echo.

Abstract: A batteryless, portable frequency divider, such as used in presence detection systems for article surveillance or as used for article-location determination, includes a series LC resonant circuit (L1-C1, L1-D1) connected directed across a parallel LC resonant circuit (L2-D2, L2-C2). One circuit is resonant at a first frequency and the other circuit is resonant at a second frequency that is a plural-integer-divided quotient of the first frequency. In one class of embodiments, either or both of the series and parallel resonant circuits includes a variable capacitance element (D1-D2). such as a varactor, in which the capacitance varies in accordance with the voltage across the variable capacitance element. The variation of the capacitance of the variable capacitance element in response to variations in energy in the higher-frequency resonant circuit resulting from receipt electromagnetic radiation at the first frequency causes the lower-frequency resonant circuit to transmit electromagnetic radiation at the second frequency. In another class of embodiments, the parallel circuit (L2-C2) is resonant at the higher first frequency and the series circuit (L1-C1) is resonant at the frequency-divided second frequency; the frequency divider includes a three-terminal semiconductor switching device (Q1, Q2) having a control terminal, a reference terminal, and a controlled terminal, which is connected directly across both resonant circuits (L1-C1 L2-C2) and between the inductance (L1) and the capacitance (C1) of the series resonant circuit (L1-C1) and which switches on and off in response to variations in energy in the parallel resonant circuit (L2-C2) resulting from the parallel resonant circuit (L2-C2) receiving electromagnetic radiation at the first frequency to cause the series resonant circuit (L1-C1) to transmit electromagnetic radiation at the second frequency.

Abstract: Treating of a workpiece which frequently undergoes heat-induced changes such as deformation, color changes and the like without using a cooling means for the workpiece is achieved by the fact that, of the light which was incident from a rod-shaped lamp on a trough-shaped cold mirror, the ultraviolet light (including some of the visible rays and infrared light) is reflected by the trough-shaped cold mirror and by at least one other cold mirror which is preferably plate-shaped. Furthermore, of the light which was emitted from the rod-shaped lamp and which was incident on the other cold mirror(s), the ultraviolet light (including some of the visible rays and infrared light) is reflected by the other cold mirror(s). The light reflected by the other cold mirror(s) is incident on the plate-shaped heat refraction filter and some of the visible rays are reflected and are incident on a workpiece. The light emitted by the rod-shaped lamp is not directly radiated onto the workpiece via the heat refraction filter. Therefore, the IR component and the component of the visible rays which are emitted onto the workpiece can be reduced and overheating of the workpiece can be prevented.

Abstract: A communication switching system having a plurality of switch nodes
with each of the switch nodes responsive to a failure of a communication link within
a group of communication links to switch active calls from channels of the failed
communication link to idle channels of other communication links within the group
of communication links. If no idle channels are available within the group of
communication links when the communication link fails, a predefined time is waited
for a channel to become idle or a new communication link to be added to the group
of communication links before the active channels are abandoned. Advantageously,
the switching of the active calls to idle channels occurs quickly so that only a
momentary interruption of the calls occurs. The group of communication links may
advantageously be a non-facility access service (NFAS) group having a combination
of ISDN BRI and PRI communication links. The calls can be either voice, video, or
data calls.

Abstract: A new printing system is disclosed for drop on demand printing. This printing mechanism divides the printing process into two stages; a drop selection means to select drops to be printed which generates a difference in meniscus position between selected drops and unselected drops of fluidized ink; and a drop separation means, attracting the ink of said drops to a substrate, the attraction being insufficient to overcome the surface tension of drops in an unselected meniscus position but being sufficient to overcome the surface tension of drops in a selected meniscus position so as to cause movement of the drops to the substrate. The drop selection means can produce a difference in meniscus position in the absence of the drop separation means.The separation of drop selection means from drop separation means significantly reduces the energy required to select which ink drops are to be printed. Only the drop selection means must be driven by individual signals to each nozzle. The drop separation means can be a field or condition applied simultaneously to all nozzles.

Abstract: A rules checking methodology ensures the quality of a structure or
system having one or more elements and one or more nodes that serve as
connection points to the elements. The rules checking methodology
examines the elements and nodes of the structure and makes decisions
regarding the quality of the structure according to parameters, or rules,
provided. The first step of the rules checking methodology of the present
invention is to create an internal representation of the structure to be
analyzed (10). Expected arrangements of the elements of the structure
are found by searching for and extracting known topology types (20).
Next, an analysis of the elements and nodes of the structure is performed
(30, 40). All rules associated with a particular element or node of the
structure are applied to the element or node in order to determine if that
element or node meets certain criteria established for it. Finally, a report
that illustrates the statistics compiled during the analysis of the structure
elements and nodes is made available (50).
