A system and method for measuring the thickness of an ultra-thin multi-layer film on a substrate is disclosed. A physical model of an ultra-thin multilayer structure and Auger electron emission from the nano-multilayer structure is built. A mathematical model for the Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) measurement of the multilayer thin film thickness is derived according to the physical model. Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) is first performed on a series of calibration samples. The results are entered into the mathematical model to determine the parameters in the mathematical equation. The parameters may be calibrated by the correlation measurements of the alternate techniques. AES analysis is performed on the ultra-thin multi-layer film structure. The results are entered into the mathematical model and the thickness is calculated.

Embodiments of the present invention address delivery of content, including advertising, in an online or networked digital environment. Undesirable content or content that needs to be removed from the digital environment may be eliminated through invocation of a ‘kill switch’ that terminates further delivery of the aforementioned content. The ‘kill switch’ may also eliminate certain instantiations of that content already delivered to end-user client devices. In order to lessen the need for termination of content following delivery to the digital environment, content developers and content providers may view content scheduled for delivery in digital environment ‘mock ups’ prior to actual delivery. Content developers and content providers, too, may control certain attributes related to content scheduled for delivery to further obviate post-delivery termination or modification.

A method of calibrating excore detectors for a pressurized water reactor (PWR) includes: measuring peripheral core flux signals using excore detectors disposed at a plurality of locations spaced about the periphery of the core, and using the measured power distribution from either a core monitoring system or in-core flux measurement. Calibration of the excore detectors is broken into two parts: (1) the relation between the excore detector signal and weighted peripheral assembly axial offset, and (2) the relation between weighted peripheral assembly axial offset and core average axial offset. Relation (2) can be determined by a representative neutronics model. Accuracy of the neutronics solution is improved by applying nodal calibration factors, which represent the ratio of the measured three-dimensional power distribution to the nodal predicted three-dimensional power distribution and correct the neutronic results to match what would be measured if predictive scenarios were actually performed in the actual reactor core.

A method and apparatus for inspecting a wafer during a semiconductor device fabrication process. The apparatus performs, only via observation from the wafer's top surface, inspection and quantitative evaluation of a portion that is in the shadow of an incident electron beam and a buried structure in the wafer. To this end, the electron beam is emitted so that it partially penetrates a wafer surface and reaches an unexposed pattern portion to the beam. When a stereoscopic structure is constructed from the scan image based on a secondarily generated signal, generate a stereoscopic model of a pattern being tested. The secondary signal is used to detect position information of a pattern edge(s) and signal intensity. Then, use the information to calculate more than one feature quantity of the test pattern. From the calculated feature quantities, the stereoscopic structure is constructed for displaying a 3D structure of the pattern.

A training system uses a mechanical mock-up with electrically conductive probe points connected to electronically readable memories, and a simulated diagnostic tool to interface with a system or machine simulation for the purpose of operation, maintenance or procedure training. When a probe of a simulated diagnostic tool comes into contact with a probe point of the mechanical mock-up, the electronically readable memory supplies a unique identifier code that is communicated by the simulated diagnostic tool to the simulation to indicate the contact of the probe with the corresponding probe point. Complex wiring connections between the mechanical mock-up and a computer that runs the simulation are eliminated and construction of the training system is significantly simplified.
