  • Publication number: 20170363969
    Abstract: A diagnostic apparatus monitors a lithographic manufacturing system. First measurement data representing local deviations of some characteristic across a substrate is obtained using sensors within a lithographic apparatus, and/or a separate metrology tool. Other inspection tools perform substrate backside inspection to produce second measurement data. A high-resolution backside defect image is processed into a form in which it can be compared with lower resolution information from the first measurement data. Cross-correlation is performed to identify which of the observed defects are correlated spatially with the deviations represented in the first measurement data. A correlation map is used to identify potentially relevant clusters of defects in the more detailed original defect map. The responsible apparatus can be identified by pattern recognition as part of an automated root cause analysis. Alternatively, reticle inspection data may be used as second measurement data.

  • Publication number: 20170175444
    Abstract: A clamping system for supporting an extension ladder on a gutter utilizes at least one and, more preferably, a pair of identical, clamp(s) to capture the ladder preventing movement laterally or horizontally away from the gutter. The clamp includes a clamp body with a latch pivotably mounted thereto which is spring biased to the gutter-clamping position. A lock screw may be utilized to prevent the latch from releasing the gutter preventing the ladder from moving. A pair of ears extends from each side of the clamp body and have slots which engage the channels on a forward face of the ladder leg.

  • Patent number: 8584117
    Abstract: Systems and methods of providing information from run-time installations of mainframe SMP/E based products. Information is embedded into a fingerprint library. The fingerprint library may then be associated with a product installed via SMP/E. The fingerprint library may then remain with the product when it is copied to its distributed location. A system administrator may later query the run-time installation and retrieve information previously only known to the SMP/E tool in an SMP/E controlled installation. In one embodiment, information may be embedded into a fingerprint library at product build time.
