Patent number: 10342108Abstract: A target structure (T) made by lithography or used in lithography is inspected by irradiating the structure at least a first time with EUV radiation (304) generated by inverse Compton scattering. Radiation (308) scattered by the target structure in reflection or transmission is detected (312) and properties of the target structure are calculated by a processor (340) based on the detected scattered radiation. The radiation may have a first wavelength in the EUV range of 0.1 nm to 125 nm. Using the same source and controlling an electron energy, the structure may be irradiated multiple times with different wavelengths within the EUV range, and/or with shorter (x-ray) wavelengths and/or with longer (UV, visible) wavelengths. By rapid switching of electron energy in the inverse Compton scattering source, irradiation at different wavelengths can be performed several times per second.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2016Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Alexey Olegovich Polyakov, Richard Quintanilha, Vadim Yevgenyevich Banine, Coen Adrianus Verschuren

Patent number: 10180630Abstract: An illumination system has a microLED array 502. The microLED array 502 is imaged or placed very close to a phosphor coated glass disc 504 which upconverts the light from the microLED array into a narrow band emission. The plate has at least two different photoluminescent materials arranged to be illuminated by the microLED array and to thereby emit output light. The different photoluminescent materials have different emission spectral properties of the output light, e.g. different center wavelength and optionally different bandwidth. Illumination of different photoluminescent materials by the illumination sources is selectable, by selective activation of the microLEDs or by movement of the photoluminescent materials relative to the illumination sources, to provide different illumination of the different photoluminescent materials. This provides tunable spectral properties of the output light.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2017Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Teunis Willem Tukker, Nitesh Pandey, Coen Adrianus Verschuren

Patent number: 9748522Abstract: The invention relates to an illumination system comprising a light emitting device and a beam shaping element for generating an angular distribution of the light emitted from the illumination system. The beam shaping element is configured for recycling at least a part of the light emitted from a light emitting surface of the light emitting device via reflection back towards the light emitting surface. The illumination system further comprises a diffuser arranged substantially parallel to the light emitting surface for diffusing at least part of the recycled light. The diffuser is constituted of a translucent diffuser and/or a diffusely reflective electrode layer of the light emitting device. Limiting the angular distribution by recycling light, using the beam shaping element for recycling light via reflection, reduces glare when the illumination system is used in general lighting applications.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2010Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: PHILIPS LIGHTING HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Coen Adrianus Verschuren, Ferry Zijp

Patent number: 9658219Abstract: A microelectronic sensor device for the detection of target components with label or magnetic particles includes a carrier with a binding surface at which target components can collect and optionally bind to specific capture elements. An input light beam is transmitted into the carrier and totally internally reflected at the binding surface. The amount of light in the output light beam is detected by a light detector. Evanescent light generated during the total internal reflection is affected by target components and/or label particles at the binding surface and will be missing in the output light beam. This is used to determine the amount of target components at the binding surface from the amount of light in the output light beam. A magnetic field generator is optionally used to generate a magnetic field at the binding surface by which magnetic label particles can be manipulated, such as attracted or repelled.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2007Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Coen Adrianus Verschuren, Dominique Maria Bruls, Albert Hendrik Jan Immink, Femke Karina De Theije, Thea Van Der Wijk, Alexander Marc Van Der Lee, Johannes Joseph Hubertina Barbara Schleipen

Patent number: 9599292Abstract: A light emitting module includes at least one LED mounted on a reflective base and surrounded by reflective walls to form a cavity. A partially diffusive layer containing a phosphor is mounted above the LED with a gap therebetween. Some of the light emitted by the phosphor is backscattered toward the LED, base, and walls. The LED absorbs a significant amount of the light, while the reflective base and walls efficiently reflect over 90% of the light back toward the phosphor layer for exiting the module. Various equations are provided that allow the designer to select an optimal gap between the LED and the partially diffusive layer to maximize light extraction efficiency out of the diffusive layer. The optimal gap range for maximizing light extraction efficiency is a product of LED largest linear length, LED surface area, base area, wall area, and reflective coefficients of the various elements.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2012Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Hendrik Johannes Boudewijn Jagt, Olexandr Velentynovych Vdovin, Coen Adrianus Verschuren, Durandus Kornelius Dijken, Christian Kleijnen, Marcellinus Petrus Carolus Michael Krijn

Publication number: 20150241416Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the detection of target components that comprise label particles, for example magnetic particles (1). The method includes (a) collecting the target components at a binding surface (12, 112, 512) of a carrier (11, 111, 211, 311, 411, 511); (b) directing an input light beam (L1, L1a, L1b) into the carrier such that it is totally internally reflected in an investigation region (13, 313a, 313b) at the binding surface (12, 112, 512); and (c) determining the amount of light of an output light beam (L2, L2a, L2b) that comprises at least some of the totally internally reflected light. Evanescent light generated during the total internal reflection is affected (absorbed, scattered) by target components and/or label particles (1) at the binding surface (12) and will therefore be missing in the output light beam (L2). This can be used to determine the amount of target components at the binding surface (12) from the amount of light in the output light beam (L2, L2a, L2b).Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2015Publication date: August 27, 2015Inventors: Coen Adrianus Verschuren, Dominique Maria Bruls, Albert Hendrik Jan Immink, Femke Karina DE THEIJE e/v WIJGERGANGS, Thea van der Wijk, Alexander Marc Van Der Lee, Johannes Joseph Hubertina Barbara Schleipen
