  • Publication number: 20240159865
    Abstract: A system is provided for measuring a power radiated pattern of an incident radio frequency (RF) signal indicating spatial distribution characteristics of a device under test (DUT). The system includes multiple antenna elements arranged in an array, where the antenna elements include antennas and diodes coupled to the antennas, respectively. Each antenna has a radar cross-section (RCS) that is too small for the antenna elements to operate in a reflect mode. Each diode is zero biased, such that the diodes receive the incident RF signal through the antennas to which the diodes are respectively coupled, and rectify the incident RF signal to DC voltages that are proportional to power of the incident RF signal, enabling the antenna elements to operate in a detect mode.

  • Patent number: 11966156
    Abstract: A system for mask design repair may develop a simulation-based model of a layer thickness after one or more process steps for fabricating features on a sample, develop a transformed model of the fabrication process that emulates the simulation-based model and has a faster evaluation speed than the simulation-based model, and where the inputs to the transformed model include the input mask design, and where the outputs of the transformed model include one or more output parameters associated with fabrication of the input mask design as well as one or more sensitivity metrics describing sensitivities of the one or more output parameters to variations of the input mask design. The system may further receive a candidate mask design and generate a repaired mask design based on the transformed model and the candidate mask design.

  • Patent number: 11945658
    Abstract: A platform for processing a workpiece includes a transmission mechanism, a plurality of workstations and a plurality of movable vehicles. The transmission mechanism transports the workpiece to be processed to one of the plurality of workstations. Each movable vehicle includes a processing module and a docking interface adapted to connect with a docking station of each workstation. The movable vehicles are each adapted to move in and out of each workstation, and each processing module is adapted to process the workpiece transmitted to the workstation after the movable vehicle is moved in and positioned in the workstation.

  • Publication number: 20220129775
    Abstract: A mask pattern for a semiconductor device can be used as an input to determine a photoresist thickness probability distribution using a machine learning module. For example, the machine learning module can determine a probability map of Z-height. This can be used to determine stochastic variation in photoresist thickness for a semiconductor device. The Z-height may be calculated at a coordinate in the X-direction and Y-direction.

  • Patent number: 11077973
    Abstract: A bread slice delivery device for an automatic sandwich packaging machine. The device consists of a base plate (1), a bread receptacle base (2), a bread receptacle (3), three ball screw-type linear slide platforms, three L-shaped brackets, a rectangular push plate, two flat carrier plates, one photoelectric switch, and six proximity switches. The bread slice delivery device for an automatic sandwich packaging machine ensures that bread slices land on point accurately and that sandwich layers do not become misaligned during the delivery process; moreover, the bread storage receptacle can be swapped out easily.
