Patent number: 8217351Abstract: A pattern data examination method and system capable of accurately and speedily examining a circuit pattern without failing to extract pattern contour data are provided. While pattern comparison is ordinarily made by using a secondary electron image, a contour of a pattern element is extracted by using a backscattered electron image said to be suitable for observation and examination of a three dimensional configuration of a pattern element, and pattern inspection is executed by using the extracted contour of the pattern element. More specifically, pattern inspection is executed by comparing a contour of a pattern element with design data such as CAD data to measure a difference between the contour and the data, and by computing, for example, the size of the circuit pattern element from the contour of a pattern.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2010Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: Hitachi High-Technologies CorporationInventors: Yasutaka Toyoda, Yasunari Souda, Yuji Takagi, Koji Arai

Patent number: 7997810Abstract: A support plate and a printed wiring board are spaced from a shutter base plate. An adjusting shaft member includes first and second shaft portions and an attachment portion that is press-fitted to an attachment hole in the support plate. Each of first and second contact members is attached to the printed wiring board at one end and has a contact portion and a positioning portion at the other end. The positioning portions of the first and second contact members are respectively brought into contact with a cam-shaped peripheral surface of the first shaft portion and a circular peripheral surface of the second shaft portion. When the adjusting shaft member is rotated, the distance between the contact portions varies. Thus, the time at which the two contact portions come into contact with each other when a pushing portion of the second contact member is pressed can be adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2010Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: Nidec Copal CorporationInventor: Koji Arai
