  • Patent number: 8312395
    Abstract: A method includes capturing an image of the pattern using one or more scans across a surface of the partially completed wafer. The method includes processing information associated with the captured image of the pattern in a first format (e.g., pixel domain) into a second format, e.g., transform domain. The method includes determining defect information associated with the image of the pattern in the second format and processing the defect information (e.g., wafer identification, product identification, layer information, x-y die scanned) to identify at least one defect associated with a spatial location of a repeating pattern on the partially completed wafer provided by a reticle. The method includes identifying the reticle associated with the defect and a stepper associated with the reticle having the defect and ceasing operation of the stepper.

  • Patent number: 8199864
    Abstract: A demodulator for demodulating a digital broadcast signal and a demodulation method thereof. A QPSK demodulator of a digital broadcast reception system includes an in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) detector. The I/Q detector generates a baseband I signal and a baseband Q signal by multiplying a modulated QPSK signal by an I/Q carrier signal. A bandwidth adjustable first filter receives the baseband I signal and the baseband Q signal generated by the I/Q detector and rejects imaginary noise included in the received signals. A data restoration unit restores original data before the signals output from the first filter are QPSK modulated.
