Through-focus scanning optical microscopy for defect inspection of EUV masks

August 12, 2013
Author(s)
Ravikiran Attota, Vibhu Jindal
The TSOM method provides three-dimensional nanoscale metrology using a conventional optical microscope. Substantial improvements in defect detectability using the TSOM method will be presented. The TSOM method shows potential to (i) detect phase defects on

Production and Applications of Cellulose Nanomaterials

August 1, 2013
Author(s)
Michael T. Postek, Robert J. Moon, Alan Rudie, Michael Bilodeau
“Production and Applications of Cellulosic Nanomaterials” was intended to help organize and highlight the wide range of research being conducted worldwide on the science and technology of cellulose nanomaterials. The format of this book consists of short

Harnessing 3D Scattered Optical Fields for sub-20 nm Defect Detection

June 24, 2013
Author(s)
Bryan M. Barnes, Martin Y. Sohn, Francois R. Goasmat, Hui Zhou, Richard M. Silver, Abraham Arceo
Experimental imaging at =193 nm of sub-resolved defects performed at several focus positions yields a volume of spatial and intensity data. Defects are located in a differential volume, given a reference, with up to 5x increase in sensitivity.

Dimensional Metrology and Imaging of Cellulose Nanocrystals

June 14, 2013
Author(s)
Michael T. Postek, Andras Vladar
Cellulose nanocrystals are one group of nanoparticles that have high potential economic value but, also present many basic research and manufacturing challenges. These challenges are not only in development of the fundamental processes needed for the

Nanoparticles in Flame-Retardant Coatings for Flexible Polyurethane Foams: Effects on Flammability and Nanoparticle Release

May 15, 2013
Author(s)
Mauro Zammarano, Rick D. Davis, Yeon S. Kim, Richard H. Harris Jr., Marc R. Nyden, Jeffrey W. Gilman, Nasir M. Uddin
Nanoparticles can effectively reduce polymer flammability; however, the impact of nanoparticles on environmental and health safety is still unclear. The purpose of this study is twofold: (1) to develop and investigate the effect of nanoparticle-rich

Surface Chemical Transformations of UV irradiated Silica-Epoxy Nanocomposites

May 15, 2013
Author(s)
Justin M. Gorham, Tinh Nguyen, Deborah S. Jacobs, Coralie Bernard, Richard D. Holbrook
Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) incorporated into a polymeric matrix, or silica nanocomposites (SiNCs), are used in a wide variety of commercially available products in numerous natural and artificial environments. Environmental factors, such as light, may

Tools and Approaches for the Assessment of Nanomaterial Induced Oxidative DNA Damage

May 13, 2013
Author(s)
Elijah J. Petersen, Bryce Marquis, Pawel Jaruga, M Miral Dizdar, Bryant C. Nelson
Hyphenated mass spectrometry techniques have been employed as one of the primary analytical tools for investigating the effects of ionizing radiation, chemical/biological carcinogens, and oxygen derived free radicals on the induction and subsequent repair
