  • Patent number: 10845529
    Abstract: A light engine system is disclosed in which the light engine system comprises a light engine. The light engine comprises independently addressable LED segments, each LED segment comprising LEDs and a flexible PCB to which the segments are attached. A light guide plate (LGP) is provided into which light from the segments is introduced, in which the light is guided, and from which the light exits to provide illumination. The segments emit light in all directions of a plane created by the LGP. A diffuser opposes a first surface of the LGP over substantially the entirety of the LGP. The diffuser diffuses light exiting the LGP into the environment away from the light engine.

  • Patent number: 10837919
    Abstract: Scatterometry overlay (SCOL) single cell targets are provided, along with target design methods and measurement methods which employ the single cell SCOL targets for in-die metrology measurements, utilizing the small size of the target along with maintained optical performance due to the design of the target. Disclosed single cell targets comprise a lattice of elements at two or more layers which is periodic two or more measurement directions. Elements in different layers are offset with respect to each other and may have the same pitch along the measurement directions. Measurement algorithms are also provided to derive metrology measurements such as overlays from the single cell targets, possibly simultaneously in both (or more) measurement directions, reducing measurement time and enhancing the metrology throughput. Positioning the small targets in-die provides more accurate metrology results which are less sensitive to process variation.
