  • Patent number: 9513719
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a pen pressure detecting module housed in a position indicator, the position indicator having a pen shape and being capable of detecting a pressure applied to a tip portion of the position indicator. The pen pressure detecting module includes a pressure sensing device, a first holder, and a second holder. The pressure sensing device senses the pressure based on a change in a capacitance formed between a first electrode and a second electrode disposed so as to be opposed to each other, which capacitance changes so as to correspond to the pressure that is transmitted to the first electrode. The second holder is housed in the first holder, and the pressure sensing device is disposed so as to sense the pressure applied to the second holder. An engaging portion engaged with a pressure transmitting member that transmits the pressure is formed in the second holder.

  • Patent number: 8023723
    Abstract: A sidewall shape correction function is determined in advance which represents the relationship of the difference between contour positions of two or more items of pattern contour position data of different thresholds obtained from an SEM image and optical pattern contour positions determined through an optical method. Two or more items of pattern contour position data of different thresholds are obtained from SEM image data on which a lithographic simulation is to be conducted. Pseudo-optical pattern contour position data are determined from the contour position difference and the sidewall shape correction function. A lithographic simulation is conducted using the pseudo-optical pattern contour position data.
