Abstract: [Object] To detect the misalignment of a printed circuit board for which a continuity test is
conducted, in a non-contact manner using a simple structure. 
     [Constitution] Position detection electrodes S1 and S2 are disposed so as to be point-symmetrical
relative to an arbitrary point px on a line Lx that extends almost along the center of a printed
pattern 34a on an opposite circuit board and that is parallel with the Y axis. Position detection
electrodes S3 and S4 are disposed in the same manner. A probe selection switch section SW11
can provide a probe selection signal, and a position detection sensor selection switch section
SW12 can provide a signal for selecting among the position detection electrodes S1 to S4. A
detected voltage varies depending on how the position detection electrode S1 is opposed to a
printed pattern 34a. Thus, misalignment can be detected by detecting the opposition relationship
between each of the position detection electrodes S1 to S4 and the printed pattern 34a.

Abstract: A solid state relay composed of a series connected pair of
LDMOSFETs has a minimized output capacitance. Each LDMOSFET
is configured to have a silicon layer of a first conductive type, a drain
region of the first conductive type diffused in the top surface of the
silicon layer, a well region of a second conductive type diffused in the
silicon layer in a laterally spaced relation from the drain region, and a
source region of the first conductive type diffused within the well region
to define a channel extending between the source region and a
confronting edge of the well region along the top surface of the silicon
layer. Each LDMOSFET is of an SOI (Silicon-On-Insulator) structure
composed of a silicon substrate placed on a supporting plate, a buried
oxide layer on the silicon substrate, and the silicon layer on the buried
oxide layer. The well region is diffused over the full depth of the
silicon layer to have its bottom in contact with the buried oxide layer, so
that the well region forms with the silicon layer a P-N interface only at a
small area adjacent the channel. Because of this reduced P-N interface
and also because of the buried oxide layer exhibiting a much lower
capacitance than the silicon layer, it is possible to greatly reduce a drain-source
capacitance for minimizing the output capacitance of the relay in
the non-conductive condition.

Abstract: An image tracker (10) that tracks an object (16) targeted for
engagement by a laser weapon (12). The tracker (10) includes
receiver optics (31) that receive radiation (30) from both a
detected target (16) and a laser beam (14) incident thereon, and a
polarizing beam splitter (44) that splits the radiation into a
first beam of reflected laser radiation (46) and a second beam of
detected target radiation (47). The polarizing beam splitter (44)
reflects the first beam of reflected laser radiation (46) in a
first direction for imaging purposes and linearly polarizes the
second beam of detected target radiation (47). A beam polarizer
(60) circularly polarizes the second beam of detected target
radiation. A micromirror array (66) reflects the circularly
polarized detected target radiation back through the beam
polarizer (60) to linearly polarize the second beam of detected
target radiation (47). Tracker electronics (33) adjust the
reflectivity of the micromirror array (66) to ensure that the
radiation incident on the array is at or below a predetermined
irradiance threshold level. Therefore, the reflected laser
radiation does not affect the imaging of the targeted object. The
linearly polarized detected target radiation beam is then
reflected by the beam splitter (44) in a second direction for
imaging purposes. The tracker of the present invention enhances
the probability of a target kill, as the actual laser beam hit
spot (20) on the target is tracked relative to the target
position.

Abstract: A nonvolatile semiconductor memory has circuitry
including a matrix (1) of nonvolatile erasable memory
cells (Mij) formed at intersections of word lines (WLl
to WLm) and bit lines (BLll to BLlk, ..., BLnl to
BLnk), a row decoder (3), a column decoder (5), and
sense amplifiers (7l to 7n) connected to the bit lines.
The nonvolatile semiconductor memory is adapted for
connection, when in use, to an external power source
(8) to receive therefrom a normal source voltage (Vcc),
required by the circuitry (1-7) for performing a normal
reading operation on one of the memory cells, and a
predetermined verify source voltage (V VER ), required by
the circuitry for performing a preselected verify
operation on one of the memory cells. 
     During the verify operation the received verify
source voltage (V VER ) is delivered to a transistor (14)
included in the selected sense amplifier (7i) that is
used for discriminating the data stored in the memory
cell being verified and to a word line (WLl to WLm)
selected in the operation concerned whilst the received
normal source voltage (V CC ) is delivered to remaining
parts of the circuitry (1-7). 
     Such a memory can enable the verify source voltage
supply capacity of the external power source to be
reduced without changing the sensitivity of the sense
amplifiers.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting electrical defects in a semiconductor wafer. includes the steps of: a)
applying charge to the wafer (22) such that electrically isolated structures are raised to a voltage
relative to electrically grounded structures; b) obtaining voltage contrast data for at least a
portion of the wafer containing such structures using an electron beam from electron source (24); and c) analyzing the
voltage contrast data to detect structures at a voltages different to predetermined voltages for
such structures. Voltage contrast data can take one of a number of forms. In a simple form, data
for a number of positions on a line scan of an electron beam can be taken and displayed or stored
as a series of voltage levels and scan positions. Alternatively, the data from a series of scans can
he displayed as a voltage contrast image. Analysis can be achieved by comparison of one set of
voltage contrast data, for example voltage contrast data from one die on a wafer, with one or
more other such sets, for example voltage contrast data for corresponding structures on one or
more preceding dice, so as to determine differences therebetween.
