In this paper, a technique for full chip gate CD(critical dimension) error prediction based on empirical models will be presented and discussed. In order to be compatible with existing common terminologies, this technique can also be called model-based full chip gate CD verification, which has become an integral part of closed-loop design-to-silicon flow of gate layer masking processes at 90nm and 65nm technology nodes. The empirical optical-and-process models can be same or different (such as with defocus) from the ones which are widely used in model based OPC and ORC. Similar to but different from conventional ORC, which normally addresses the minimum feature check or fatal error check, the model-based gate CD verification technique will focus on CD error prediction and CD error distribution analysis for gate CD related yield improvement efforts. Current commercial ORC or model-based verification tools provide the capability of EPE (edge placement error) check and analysis, and with certain additional techniques they may also provide the capability of gate CD prediction or simulation for selected targets or figures. The new model-based gate CD verification technique will provide the capability of full chip CD error prediction and CD error distribution analysis for all concerned small gate CD targets.
Surveying deformation of propeller blade under hydrodynamical load is a factual engineering problem when propeller has been developed to a certain stage. This paper develops a photoelectronic method based on subpixel high precision object position surveying. A thin laser beam is incident upon a small reflector adhered to the surveying point on blade, the reflected light is focused on a frosted glass and there appears a facula. The angular deformation of the surveying point causes the facula to move and the motion is detected by an image processing system. The relationship between the motion and the angular deformation under the influence of refraction index is given. The flash method and the facula image grab are also discussed. Finally, angular deformation of 48 surveying points of a highly skewed propeller model of a 2800 TEU container ship under mooring status rotating at 500 and 750 rpm are successfully obtained.
