Abstract: There is provided a system and method of measuring a lateral recess in a semiconductor specimen, comprising: obtaining a first image acquired by collecting SEs emitted from the surface of the specimen, and a second image acquired by collecting BSEs scattered from an interior region of the specimen between the surface and a target second layer, the specimen scanned using an electron beam with a landing energy selected to penetrate to a depth corresponding to the target second layer; generating a first GL waveform based on the first image, and a second GL waveform based on the second image; estimating a first width of the first layers based on the first GL waveform, and a second width with respect to at least the target second layer based on the second GL; and measuring a lateral recess based on the first width and the second width.

Abstract: A mill adapted to resemble a slot machine has a mill body, a dispensing mechanism, and a façade that resembles a slot machine. The mill body has a compartment for storing the pepper, and an aperture for dispensing the pepper. The dispensing mechanism is operably mounted adjacent the aperture for grinding and dispensing the pepper through the aperture. The facade of the mill body is adapted to resemble a slot machine, and a slot arm is pivotally mounted adjacent the mill body and operably engaged for actuating the dispensing mechanism.

Abstract: A useful device adapted to resemble a slot machine includes a device body having a useful feature for performing a task. A façade of the device body is adapted to resemble a slot machine. A slot arm operably connected to the device body functions to actuate the useful feature of the useful device.
