One of the key challenges in critical dimension (CD) metrology is finding suitable calibration standards. Over the last few years there has been some interest...
Many semiconductor metrologists are aware that the contribution of line edge roughness (LER), and thus linewidth variation (LWV), can be a significant...
In this paper, we present an innovative recursive motion estimation technique that can take advantage of the in-depth resolution (range) to perform an accurate...
Sandwich plates with cellular metal cores are being widely considered for blast mitigation applications, due largely to the energy absorption capacity of the...
Experimental data of the thermophysical properties of 3He were mined into a searchable database. Equilibrium equations along the vapor-liquid and liquid-solid...
Bloom filters are a probabilistic data structure used to evaluate set membership. A group of hash functions are used to map elements into a Bloom filter and to...
