  • Patent number: 12276041
    Abstract: A method for crystal pulling is provided. The method includes the following. The method includes performing an equal-diameter process. The equal-diameter process is performed as follows. From the first equal-diameter stage to the third equal-diameter stage, the crystal rotation rate is gradually increased after starting at a first initial crystal rotation rate, and then is kept at a constant rotation rate after gradually increasing the crystal rotation rate. The crucible rotation rate is gradually increased from a first initial crucible rotation rate to a maximum crucible rotation rate after starting at the first initial crucible rotation rate in the first equal-diameter stage, the crucible rotation rate is kept at the maximum crucible rotation rate in the second equal-diameter stage, and the crucible rotation rate is gradually decreased after the second equal-diameter stage. The method further includes a cooling process.

  • Patent number: 11967055
    Abstract: Technology for inspection for detecting a defect of a printed matter using machine logic informed by machine learning. Some embodiments of the present invention may include one, or more, of the following features: (i) generates defect datasets; (ii) generates defect libraries; (iii) uses the generated defect libraries for deep learning training; and (iv) uses machine learning to detect defects using computer code (for example, a *.jpg format file) corresponding to an image of a piece of printed matter instead of using a visual image (that is, an image of the type that is created when a person takes a picture using a traditional film camera).

  • Publication number: 20240068967
    Abstract: Parameters from an inspection image representing mechanical vibrations and electromagnetic interference can be determined. An X-direction vibration spectrum can be determined based on the X-direction offsets. A Y-direction vibration spectrum can be determined based on the Y-direction offsets. The determinations can be based on a swath image of a workpiece, such as a semiconductor wafer or reticle.

  • Patent number: 11823392
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for segmenting generic foreground objects in images and videos. For segmenting generic foreground objects in videos, an appearance stream of an image in a video frame is processed using a first deep neural network. Furthermore, a motion stream of an optical flow image in the video frame is processed using a second deep neural network. The appearance and motion streams are then joined to combine complementary appearance and motion information to perform segmentation of generic objects in the video frame. Generic foreground objects are segmented in images by training a convolutional deep neural network to estimate a likelihood that a pixel in an image belongs to a foreground object. After receiving the image, the likelihood that the pixel in the image is part of the foreground object as opposed to background is then determined using the trained convolutional deep neural network.
