Patent number: 10359994Abstract: A computer system processing heterogeneous measurements from various metrology apparatuses includes a processor, a storage, and a software platform. The storage includes a recording of direct models expressing the heterogeneous measurements as a function of predefined features of electronic devices or parameters for processing the measurements. The software platform includes a functional cost calculation module and an interface selecting one of plural cost functions. The functional module provides an estimation of a cost by comparison of the heterogeneous measurements with an estimation of the measurements obtained by an application of the direct models to values of predefined features or processing parameters. The software platform includes a functional solver module and an interface selecting one of plural solvers, for an iterative optimization by the solver of the values based on the output of the cost calculation module and by inversion of the direct models.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2014Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: Commissariat a l'energie atomique et aux energies alternativesInventors: Jerome Hazart, Johann Foucher

Patent number: 7903536Abstract: An irreversible optical recording medium comprises at least an active layer presenting a rear face and a front face designed to receive at least an optical writing radiation. The optical writing radiation enables gas bubbles forming write marks to be formed locally in said active layer by means of a layer forming a gas source arranged on the rear face of the active layer. The layer forming the gas source moreover has a thickness less than or equal to 100 nm so as to limit the height of the bubbles formed in the active layer and therefore to improve tracking when read operations are performed. The layer forming the gas source is preferably made of carbon-doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon oxide.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2006Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignees: Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique, MPO InternationalInventors: Ludovic Poupinet, Jerome Hazart, Berangere Hyot, Marc Plissonnier

Patent number: 7860686Abstract: A structure, decomposable into at least one elementary structure or base element, is illuminated and then provides an optical response, at least one geometrical parameter of the base element is determined, and a value is attributed to it, a regression algorithm is implemented which determines modified values of the parameter(s), in order to make the difference between the theoretical response of the base element and the acquired result at most equal to a threshold, and to obtain an image of the structure, and as long as the separation between the acquired and theoretical responses is not satisfactory, new subdivisions of the base element(s) are performed.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2005Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: Commissariat a l'Energie AtomiqueInventor: Jerome Hazart

Patent number: 7307723Abstract: A method of optical characterization of a layer of material in which the spectrum of index n* (?) is characterized by a limited number of “nodes” that are points with coordinates (?i, ni, ki) or (?i, n*i), with ni=n(?i), ki=k(?i) and n*i=ni+jki, where j2=?1, and an interpolation law between the “nodes,” which can be, for example, linear, cubic, of “spline” type or polynomial (of any given degree). This interpolation law allows the calculation, from the “nodes,” of the refraction indexes and the extinction coefficients for the wavelengths located between the “nodes.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2003Date of Patent: December 11, 2007Assignee: Commissariat a l'Energie AtomiqueInventor: Jerome Hazart
