Title: Reference image forming method and pattern inspection apparatus
Inventor: NISHII SATOSHI
IPC: G01N21/956
Filed: 1998-08-29
Granted: 2000-05-01
Abstract: A reference image forming method is used in a pattern inspection apparatus for scanning a pattern formed on an object to be inspected on the basis of design data with a laser beam having a predetermined wavelength, focusing transmitted light passing through the object on a light-receiving element by using an objective lens, forming a real image from pattern information obtained from the light-receiving element, and comparing the real image with a reference image obtained by imaging the design data, thereby detecting a defect in the object. In this method, reference data is formed by developing the design data as a pattern made of multilevel gradation values on pixels having a resolution higher than an inspection resolution. A reference image is formed by increasing or decreasing the width of each pattern of the reference data as a multilevel gradation pattern with a precision higher than the inspection resolution on the basis of an edge position of a corresponding pattern in the real image. A pattern inspection apparatus is also disclosed.

Abstract: This invention describes a void-free process for the filling of trench with high aspect ratio. It includes following steps. After the conducting metal structure pattern is defined, a silicon oxide layer is formed using high-density plasma (HDP) process. The oxide layer is then treated by wet dipping. Subsequently, the tips of the oxide layer are removed and gap wall is formed at the both sides of the above-mentioned conducting metal structure. Finally, another layer of silicon oxide is formed and there is no void formation. This enables the effect of insulation to prevent short circuit and thus improve product yield and reduce production cost.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing MOS transistors. The object of the present invention is such that, in PMOS having a gate electrode 7 of a p-type polysilicon film 5 along with a silicon nitride film 13, boron diffusion from the p-type polysilicon film 5 and boron punching through the gate oxide film 4 are prevented, thereby stabilizing the properties of the PMOS. To solve the problem, hydrogen existing in the silicon nitride film 13 contributes to diffusion of boron. To prevent it, all subsequent steps after the step of forming the silicon nitride film 13 are performed within a temperature range in which the boron diffusion is not accelerated. The formation of the silicon oxide film 14 through reduced pressure CVD is performed in a furnace at a temperature lower than 850 DEG C. Annealing for dopant activation in the compensation region 17 to be formed on the substrate in the bottom of the contact hole 16 is performed in a manner of RTA (rapid thermal annealing) at a temperature lower than 1000 DEG C.

Granted: 2003-01-11
Abstract: A method and apparatus for washing cloth items in an automatic washer is provided wherein the automatic washer includes a wash basket defining a wash chamber and an impeller located within the bottom of the wash chamber. The method includes loading cloth items into the wash chamber and then supplying a quantity of wash liquid into the wash chamber sufficient to moisten the cloth items but insufficient to cause the cloth items to lose frictional engagement with the impeller as the impeller oscillates. The impeller is oscillated to apply a drag force to the cloth items in contact with the impeller such that the cloth items in contact with the impeller move angularly along an arc-like path. Angular movement of the cloth items disposed along the bottom of the wash chamber beyond the outer periphery of the impeller is impeded such that relative angular motion is created between the cloth items disposed along the periphery of the impeller and the cloth items disposed immediately above the impeller. Cloth items move radially inward along the impeller, move upwardly in the center of the wash chamber, move radially outwardly along the top of the wash chamber and move downwardly along the side wall of the wash chamber in a pattern which may be referred to as an inverse toroidal rollover path or pattern. This inverse toroidal rollover pattern is created by direct contact between the oscillating impeller and the cloth items supported above the impeller.
