  • Publication number: 20240159904
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system ranging method, including: circularly allocating, by a light routing device, each periodic signal of a transmit signal to each light channel in a chronological order, monitoring a beat signal or a returned light pulse signal in each light channel, and calculating a target distance according to a frequency of the beat signal or a return delay time of the light pulse signal. The present invention further discloses a LIDAR, including: a laser source, a light routing device, an optical scanning system, a light detector, and a data processing module. A quantity of detection points per second of each beam is increased to N times, where N is a quantity of channels of the light routing device, so as to improve the detection efficiency and reduce the requirement on transmit resources; and a scanning mode and an angular resolution can be dynamically controlled according to needs.

  • Publication number: 20240070371
    Abstract: This application discloses a computing system to identify suspected defects in a manufactured integrated circuit, which correspond to electrical failures detected by a test applied to the manufactured integrated circuit. The computing system can utilize the suspected defects in the manufactured integrated circuit to cluster features in a physical layout design describing the manufactured integrated circuit. Each cluster of the features corresponds to a candidate for a physical root cause of the suspected defects in the manufactured integrated circuit. The computing system can detect a physical root cause of the electrical failures in the manufactured integrated circuit based on the clusters of the features. A physical failure analysis process includes an inspection of the manufactured integrated circuit to confirm the physical root cause of the electrical failures in the manufactured integrated circuit corresponds to a systemic manufacturing fault in the manufactured integrated circuit.

  • Publication number: 20230314209
    Abstract: The present invention provides a photodiode structure with a dark current indication function, including a photosensitive photodiode and a reference photodiode, where a photosensitive surface of the reference photodiode is provided with a light-blocking layer, and there is a fixed multiple relationship between dark currents of the photosensitive photodiode and the reference photodiode. The present invention further provides a photoelectric sensor, including a processing module and the photodiode structure. According to a structural design of the present invention, the photodiode structure may output two paths of current signals, so that an accurate signal photocurrent can be obtained only by subtracting the two paths of current signals in practice work, so as to finally achieve the objectives of eliminating the dark currents and reducing noise; and moreover, in the present invention, the dark currents of photodiodes are eliminated without increasing peripheral devices.

  • Publication number: 20220005961
    Abstract: Various embodiments of a photodetector having a reflector are described. The photodetector includes a waveguide layer disposed on top of a substrate, an avalanche multiplication detection region disposed on top of the waveguide layer, and a reflector disposed adjacent to a rear surface of the waveguide layer. The waveguide layer includes a narrower input section and a wider detection section concatenated with the input section. The waveguide layer may also include a tapering section having a changing width that follows the detection section. The reflector may be a one-dimensional photonic crystal, a two-dimensional photonic crystal, or a bulk material. A careful design of the reflector and the waveguide layer of the photodetector is helpful in achieving a high responsivity and a high operation speed at the same time.
