Method for detecting lithographically significant defects on reticles

A method for identifying lithographically significant defects. A photomask is illuminated to produce images that experience different parameters of the reticle as imaged by an inspection tool. Example parameters include a transmission intensity image and a reflection intensity image. The images are processed together to recover a band limited mask pattern associated with the photomask. A model of an exposure lithography system for chip fabrication is adapted to accommodate the band limited mask pattern as an input which is input into the model to obtain an aerial image of the mask pattern that is processed with a photoresist model yielding a resist-modeled image. The resist-modeled image is used to determine if the photomask has lithographically significant defects.

Temperature control of electronic devices using power following feedback

A method for controlling a device temperature measures a parameter related to device power consumption and utilizes the parameter to control the device temperature. This can be achieved with a system including a heat exchanger, a power monitor, and a circuit which controls the temperature setting of the heat exchanger. The circuit uses as inputs the power level, heat exchanger temperature, and set point. The system thus eliminates the need for temperature sensing devices in or connected to a chip, responds to the temperature of the device and not the package, can be used for high volume chip manufacturing, does not require significant surface area of a device for temperature sensing, and eliminates the need for chip power profiles. Significantly, the system allows a set point to be maintained with minimal overshoot or undershoot.

Voltage Regulator Integrated with Semiconductor Chip

ActiveUS20080150623A1Decrease in transient response timeReduce the difficulty of circuit designSemiconductor/solid-state device detailsSolid-state devicesSemiconductor chipElectrical devices
The present invention reveals a semiconductor chip structure and its application circuit network, wherein the switching voltage regulator or converter is integrated with a semiconductor chip by chip fabrication methods, so that the semiconductor chip has the ability to regulate voltage within a specific voltage range. Therefore, when many electrical devices of different working voltages are placed on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), only a certain number of semiconductor chips need to be constructed. Originally, in order to account for the different demands in voltage, power supply units of different output voltages, or a variety of voltage regulators need to be added. However, using the built-in voltage regulator or converter, the voltage range can be immediately adjusted to that which is needed. This improvement allows for easier control of electrical devices of different working voltages and decreases response time of electrical devices.

Means and method for mounting electronics

The present invention relates to a method and device for making a temperature-compensated bedding for chips on printed boards, at which a temperature-compensated device is totally or partly recessed in a carrier in the printed board. The chips is placed over the temperature-compensated device. The temperature-compensated device includes a piece of metal recessed in the carrier under the chip. A layer of copper is fixed against the upper side of the carrier and the upper side of the metal piece. The thickness of the copper layer and the thickness of the metal piece are dimensioned so that the resulting coefficient of linear expansion at the upper side of the copper layer is equally big as or a bit bigger than the coefficient of linear expansion of the chip. The temperature-compensated device can as an alternative to the above include a module recessed in the carrier under the chip. A thin layer of dielectric is fixed against the carrier, so that the coefficient of linear expansion of the dielectric layer don't appreciable affect the resulting coefficient of linear expansion of the temperature-compensated device.

Reticle defect detection using simulation

Defects are detected in a reticle used in integrated circuit chip fabrication by obtaining digital image data corresponding to an image of the reticle. Typically, this is accomplished by scanning the reticle using a laser scanner. The digital image data are then processed according to predetermined criteria to identify defects. Such processing may include, for example, processing the digital image data in comparison to reference digital image data for the same or a similar portion of the reticle. Next, a response that would be produced if the reticle were to be utilized in a photolithographic system is simulated by processing the digital image data corresponding to the reticle.

Method of making starting material for chip fabrication comprising a buried silicon nitride layer

The invention provides a method of making silicon-on-insulator SOI substrates with nitride buried insulator layer by implantation of molecular deuterated ammonia ions ND3+, instead of implanting nitrogen ions (N+, or N2+) as is done in prior art nitride SOI processes. The resultant structure, after annealing, has a buried insulator with a defect density which is substantially lower than in prior art nitride SOI. The deuterated nitride SOI substrates allow much better heat dissipation than SOI with a silicon dioxide buried insulator. These substrates can be used for manufacturing of high speed and high power dissipation monolithic integrated circuits.
