  • Publication number: 20240133613
    Abstract: A refrigeration unit includes a cabinet and a first evaporator assembly. The first evaporator assembly is operable between an uninstalled condition and an installed condition. In the uninstalled condition, the first evaporator assembly is not assembled with the cabinet. In the installed condition, the first evaporator assembly is assembled with the cabinet. The first evaporator assembly includes a first evaporator, a first suction line connected to the first evaporator at a first suction line joint, and a first capillary tube connected to the first evaporator at a first capillary tube joint. The first suction line joint and the first capillary tube joint of the first evaporator assembly are leak testable in the uninstalled condition of the first evaporator assembly.

  • Patent number: 10503078
    Abstract: Techniques are provided that can select defects based on criticality of design pattern as well as defect attributes for process window qualification (PWQ). Defects are sorted into categories based on process conditions and similarity of design. Shape based grouping can be performed on the random defects. Highest design based grouping scores can be assigned to the bins, which are then sorted. Particular defects can be selected from the bins. These defects may be reviewed.

  • Patent number: 10359371
    Abstract: Methods and systems for determining characteristic(s) of patterns of interest (POIs) are provided. One system is configured to acquire output of an inspection system generated at the POI instances without detecting defects at the POI instances. The output is then used to generate a selection of the POI instances. The system then acquires output from an output acquisition subsystem for the selected POI instances. The system also determines characteristic(s) of the POI using the output acquired from the output acquisition subsystem.

  • Patent number: 10181185
    Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting anomalies in images of a specimen are provided. One system includes one or more computer subsystems configured for acquiring images generated of a specimen by an imaging subsystem. The computer subsystem(s) are also configured for determining one or more characteristics of the acquired images. In addition, the computer subsystem(s) are configured for identifying anomalies in the images based on the one or more determined characteristics without applying a defect detection algorithm to the images or the one or more characteristics of the images.

  • Patent number: 10127651
    Abstract: Criticality of a detected defect can be determined based on context codes. The context codes can be generated for a region, each of which may be part of a die. Noise levels can be used to group context codes. The context codes can be used to automatically classify a range of design contexts present on a die without needing certain information a priori.

  • Patent number: 10074167
    Abstract: Noise induced by pattern-of-interest (POI) image registration and POI vicinity design patterns in intra-die inspection is reduced. POI are grouped into alignment groups by co-occurrence of proximate registration targets. The alignment groups are registered using the co-occurrence of proximate registration targets. Registration by voting is performed, which can measure a degree that each of the patterns-of-interest is an outlier. POI are grouped into at least one vicinity group with same vicinity design effects.

  • Patent number: 10043261
    Abstract: Methods and systems for generating simulated output for a specimen are provided. One method includes acquiring information for a specimen with one or more computer systems. The information includes at least one of an actual optical image of the specimen, an actual electron beam image of the specimen, and design data for the specimen. The method also includes inputting the information for the specimen into a learning based model. The learning based model is included in one or more components executed by the one or more computer systems. The learning based model is configured for mapping a triangular relationship between optical images, electron beam images, and design data, and the learning based model applies the triangular relationship to the input to thereby generate simulated images for the specimen.

  • Patent number: 9965848
    Abstract: Shape primitives are used for inspection of a semiconductor wafer or other workpiece. The shape primitives can define local topological and geometric properties of a design. One or more rules are applied to the shape primitives. The rules can indicate presence of a defect or the likelihood of a defect being present. A rule execution engine can search for an occurrence of the shape primitives covered by the at least one rule.

  • Patent number: 9419908
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for managing congestion in a data network. In a data network, various data flows are transmitted between source and destination nodes. One or more computing devices of the network may be configured to detecting congestion in a first path and provide an indication of the congestion, directly or indirectly, to a destination device. A switch associated with the path is designated for performing rebalancing of the flow based at least in part on a control message generated in response to an instruction received, either directly or indirectly, from a source device. Reassignment of the congested flow to a new path can help alleviate congestion and improve network performance.
