Inventor: GRATTON ENRICO
IPC: G01J3/44
Filed: 1993-11-17
Abstract: An apparatus for cross-correlation frequency domain fluorometry-phosphorimetry comprises a source of electromatic radiation and means for amplitude modulating the radiation at the first frequency. The amplitude modulated radiation is directed at a sample, while an optical array detector measures the resulting luminescence of the sample. A signal is provided coherent with the amplitude modulated electromagnetic radiation signals, at a second frequency which is different from the first frequency. The apparatus has the capability for shutting off and turning on the coherent signal at the second frequency in a cycle having a third frequency which is different from the difference between the first and second frequencies. This produces a resultant signal at a frequency derived from the frequency difference and the third frequency. Typically the resultant signal is no more than about a quarter of the frequency difference. The resultant signal modulates the gain of the detecting means or multiplies its output, depending upon the nature of the detecting means. The amount of luminescence measured by the optical array detector is read when the signal is off in its cycle of the third frequency.

Abstract: An electron beam system for direct writing applications combining the parallel throughput of a projection system and the stitching capability of a probe-forming system employs an electron gun to illuminate an initial aperture uniformly, a first set of controllable deflectors to scan the beam over the reticle parallel to the system axis, impressing the pattern of a subfield of the reticle in each exposure, in which a first variable axis lens focuses an image of the initial aperture on the reticle, a second variable axis lens collimates the patterned beam, a second set of controllable deflectors to bring the beam back to an appropriate position above the wafer, and a third variable axis lens to focus an image of the reticle subfield on the wafer, together with correction elements to apply aberration corrections that may vary with each subfield, thereby providing high throughput from the use of parallel processing of the order of 10 7  pixels per subfield with the low aberration feature of the variable axis lens and the ability to tailor location-dependent corrections that are associated with gaussian systems that stitch the image pixel by pixel.

Abstract: The recovery of each signal in a transmitted signal including a pair of superimposed signals is improved by the use of linear prediction. The pair of signals includes various combinations of analog and digital signals, e.g., an analog signal sample superimposed upon a digital signal sample, or a digital signal sample superimposed upon another digital signal sample. In a first embodiment, prediction coefficients for the analog signal are generated from the received signal. These coefficients are then used to recover the analog and digital signals from the received signal. In a second embodiment, the analog signal recovered, pursuant to the first embodiment, is considered a tentative estimate of the analog signal, and prediction coefficients for this tentative analog signal estimate are formed and used to generate final estimates of the analog and digital signals. In still other disclosed embodiments, prediction coefficients are transmitted to the reciver, and the analog signal superimposed upon the digital signal is a residual analog signal for which prediction coefficients are generated without regard to the transmitted prediction coefficients. These prediction coefficients are then used to recover the digital signal and the residual analog signal. The residual analog signal is then processed using the transmitted prediction coefficients to recover the analog signal. Further embodiments disclose several techniques for generating prediction coefficients for the analog signal.

Abstract: Light emitted from a light emitting element (1) is converted into parallel light by a lens (2), and a light receiving element (4) detects scattered light occurring due to particulate existent in a fan-shaped field pattern spreading along the optical path of the parallel light. Since parallel light is used, stray light can be processed within a limited space. Furthermore, since the scattered light of parallel light which occurs due to the particulate is detected using the fan-shaped field pattern, particulate detection can be performed on volumes of air at a high signal-to-noise ratio. A further improvement is achieved by providing a light trap (7) comprising reflection planes for further minimizing stray light and noise. In a still further improvement, an air inlet (8) and an air outlet (9) are arranged oppositely, forming a passage of air, the light source being arranged in the vicinity of the inlet and the light receiver in the vicinity of the outlet, so that the air passage is overlapping the optical path, thereby concentrating scattering particles in the optical path.
