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.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for increasing the heat-resistant of ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH), the method is characterized by using a mixture of acetic acid, magnesium dihydrogen phosphate, and potassium dihydrogen phosphate at a certain ratio as an acid-treating solution in the acid-treating procedure of a process for preparing EVOH. The EVOH produced by the method of the present invention exhibits an excellent heat-resistance and does not become yellowing attributed to the elevated processing temperature. Also, the EVOH generated by the method of the present invention exhibits a uniform heat-resistance since the additives are dispersed evenly in the EVOH.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a water resistant polyvinyl acetate aqueous emulsion, which is useful as an adhesive for applying to wood material. The present polyvinyl acetate aqueous emulsion is free of formalin and exhibits excellent water resistance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a one-pot water-resistant polyvinyl acetate copolymer aqueous emulsion and its preparation. The one-pot water-resistant polyvinyl acetate copolymer aqueous emulsion of the present invention is prepared from emulsion co-polymerization of vinyl acetate monomer and an unsaturated functional silicon-containing monomer at atmospheric pressure to prepare a one-pot self-cross-linkable emulsion.
