3D Monte Carlo modeling of the SEM: Are there applications to photomask metrology?

October 23, 2014
Author(s)
John S. Villarrubia, Andras Vladar, Michael T. Postek
The ability to model the effect of fields due to charges trapped in insulators with floating conductors has been added to JMONSEL (Java Monte Carlo simulator for Secondary Electrons) and applied to a simple photomask metal on glass geometry. These

Challenges of Irradiance-mode Spectral Response Measurements

October 16, 2014
Author(s)
Behrang H. Hamadani, John F. Roller, Brian P. Dougherty, Howard W. Yoon
Irradiance-mode spectral response measurements of solar cells are important because they provide a direct, reliable and accurate route for determination of the short circuit current (Isc) of solar cells under air mass 1.5 standard reference spectrum. In

TEST AND CALIBRATION OF DISPLACEMENT MEASURING LASER INTERFEROMETERS

October 15, 2014
Author(s)
Jack A. Stone Jr.
At the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), we have a capability to calibrate and test laser interferometer systems used to measure displacements. Recently our calibration protocol has been modified so as to bring it into accord with a

DEVELOPMENT OF A MINIATURE, MULTICHANNEL, EXTENDED-RANGE FABRY-PEROT FIBER-OPTIC LASER INTERFEROMETER SYSTEM FOR LOW FREQUENCY SI-TRACEABLE DISPLACEMENT MEASUREMENT

October 12, 2014
Author(s)
Bartosz K. Nowakowski, Douglas T. Smith, Stuart T. Smith
Laser interferometry has become a staple of SI-traceable displacement measurement techniques. With decreasing cost per channel, miniaturization, and a multitude of commercially available off-the-shelf systems, these systems create ever more attractive

Photonic-assisted Endoscopic Analysis of W-band Waveguide

October 12, 2014
Author(s)
Jeffrey A. Jargon, DongJoon Lee, JaeYong Kwon, YoungPyo Hong
We demonstrate an endoscopic probing system to measure field distribution through a W-band waveguide. The electric fields propagating inside a WR-10 waveguide are measured utilizing W-band harmonics of a femtosecond laser with a minute photonic probe.

Solid State Lighting Annex 2013 Interlaboratory Comparison Final Report

October 9, 2014
Author(s)
Yoshihiro Ohno
The Interlaboratory Comparison, IC2013, for measurement of solid state lighting (SSL) products was conducted by International Energy Agency (IEA) 4E SSL Annex between October 2012 and August 2013. 55 laboratories from 18 countries participated in this

Evaluating CT for Metrology: The Influence of Material Thickness on Measurements

October 7, 2014
Author(s)
Joseph Schlecht, Eric Ferley, Shaun COUGHLIN , Steven D. Phillips, Vincent Lee, Craig M. Shakarji
X-ray imaging provides a non-destructive means to measure internal features of a workpiece, and CT offers unique capabilities for internal measurements in 3-D. However, due to the computational nature of CT and its indirect measurement process, assessing

Comb-calibrated laser ranging for three-dimensional surface profiling with micrometer-level precision at a distance

October 6, 2014
Author(s)
Esther Baumann, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, Jean-Daniel Deschenes, William C. Swann, Ian R. Coddington, Nathan R. Newbury
Non-contact surface mapping at a distance is interesting in diverse applications including industrial metrology, manufacturing, forensics, and artifact documentation and preservation. Frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) laser detection and ranging

Estimation of uncertainty in application profiles

October 3, 2014
Author(s)
David W. Flater
Performance is an important facet of software quality, and application profiling tools are the instruments used to measure software performance at the function and application levels. The most powerful measurement method available in application profiling

Amplifier and Transistor Noise-Parameter Measurements

October 1, 2014
Author(s)
James P. Randa
Methods for measuring the noise parameters of amplifiers and on-wafer transistors are reviewed. After some preliminary background information and conventions, noise parameters are defined and the most common measurement strategies are presented, both for

An improved L1 based algorithm for standardized planar datum establishment

October 1, 2014
Author(s)
Craig M. Shakarji, Vijay Srinivasan
This paper has two major goals. First, we present an algorithm for establishing planar datums suitable for a default in tolerancing standards. The algorithm is based on a constrained minimization search based on the L_1 (L1) norm after forming a convex
