Abstract: A structure and fabrication method for a phase-shifting lithographic mask wherein an attenuated phase-shifting mesh structure (Att PSM) is combined with an alternating-element phase shifting mask (Alt PSM) to provide a mask combination consisting of phase-shifted and unshifted attenuated backgrounds in which the phase-shifted attenuated backgrounds surrounds the unshifted components and the unshifted attenuated background surrounds the phase-shifted components. A substrate (10), composed for example of quartz, has discrete layers of phase shift material (12) such as silicon nitride (Si₃N₄). The phase shifter (12) provides a 180 degree phase shift to light transmitted through it. Transparent regions (14) which also may be composed of quartz are disposed on the phase shifters (12) and attenuator material (16) is disposed on the top of regions (14). The majority of the attenuator regions of the mask are slightly transmissive absorbers and π shifted openings such as the background (K) with respect to openings (C, E, G and J). The slightly transmissive, π shifted absorber (H, A and I) is composed, for example, of chromium plus a phase shifting layer. In the areas where isolated, small, opaque features are required, the unattenuated phase shifter (B) is used instead of the Att PSM. Where there are closely packed patterns (C, D, E, F and G), every other element (D and G) is shifted by -π. The shifted elements are each decorated by a rim that has the same transmission as the Att PSM but shifts 3π. In the present configuration, each of the closely packed elements is surrounded by an attenuated phase shifter; whereas, it is also π-shifted respect to its close neighbor. The extra opaque line between the shifted and unshifted elements (H and I) do not print, because they are imbedded in a background of low transmission. These elements are 3π shifted (equivalent to π shift) while the background area (K) is 4π shifted (equivalent to zero phase shift).

Abstract: A machine includes a scheme for detecting the level of curl in sheets in a stack (7) by measuring the time it takes to acquire a sheet with a bottom corrugation vacuum feeder (BVCF)(9). A vacuum switch (80) changes state at a preset vacuum level thereby detecting any significant rise in vacuum which occurs when a sheet has been acquired by the BCVF (9). A digital control circuit (86) senses the change of state which takes place in the vacuum switch (80) and feeds a signal to the machine's microprocessor (88) which in turn signals an air knife (12) in the BVCF to increase or decrease air pressure toward the sheet stack (7) to compensate for the stressed state of the sheets.

Abstract: In an interference canceller including a pair of diversity branches, the output signals of the diversity branches are normalized respectively by first and second AGC amplifiers whose outputs are then weighted by first and second coefficients, respectively, in first and second multipliers and combined together in a diversity combiner. The first and second coefficients are derived by normalizing the output of the diversity combiner and taking the correlations between it and the outputs of the first and second AGC amplifiers. The outputs of the first and second multipliers are weighted by third and fourth coefficients, respectively. The difference between the output signals of the third and fourth multipliers is detected by a subtractor and applied to a least mean square adaptive equalizer for adaptively equalizing the difference and deriving therefrom a decision error. The third and fourth coefficients are derived by taking the correlations between the decision error and the output signals of the first and second multipliers .
