  • Publication number: 20240144467
    Abstract: A hot spot defect detecting method and a hot spot defect detecting system are provided. In the method, hot spots are extracted from a design of a semiconductor product to define a hot spot map comprising hot spot groups, wherein local patterns in a same context of the design yielding a same image content are defined as a same hot spot group. During runtime, defect images obtained by an inspection tool performing hot scans on a wafer manufactured with the design are acquired and the hot spot map is aligned to each defect image to locate the hot spot groups. The hot spot defects in each defect image are detected by dynamically mapping the hot spot groups located in each defect image to a plurality of threshold regions and respectively performing automatic thresholding on pixel values of the hot spots of each hot spot group in the corresponding threshold region.

  • Publication number: 20190345734
    Abstract: A door handle for providing a buffering effect has a base, a rotator, an elastic component, a linker, a handle lever, and a damper. The rotator is engaged through the base. The elastic component hooks a limiting rod of the base and the rotator. The linker is disposed around the rotator and has a restricting rib and a pivot rod. The handle lever is inserted into the rotator. A mini buffer of the damper has a cylinder body mounted to the base, and a piston rod. A pivot arm of the damper is disposed around a shaft of the base and rotatably mounted to the piston rod. An extending arm is rotatably mounted to the pivot arm and the pivot rod, respectively. Since damping impact of the buffer effectively retards the restoring process, the strike of the backwardly swinging handle lever is buffered.
