  • 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: 20240142720
    Abstract: A high fiber count, ferrule-terminated optical fiber cable assembly includes a high density two-dimensional array of optical fibers extending through a single aperture of a ferrule, with the optical fibers within the ferrule aperture each having a core, a cladding layer, and a hard coating layer (e.g., having an elastic modulus greater than 100 MPa). Hard coated optical fibers are arranged very close to (e.g., within two microns of, or in contact with) one another, with a substantially constant fiber pitch within the ferrule. A fusion splice region may be provided between ferrule terminated hard-coated optical fibers and conventional optical fibers lacking a hard coating. High optical fiber density and compact ferrule size permits a significant reduction in connector width, enabling a numerical reduction or elimination of staggered lengths of cable portions for coupling ultra-high density optical fiber cables.

  • Publication number: 20240125962
    Abstract: Method for source localization for cable cut prevention using distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS)/distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) is described that is robust/immune to underground propagation speed uncertainty. The method estimates the location of a vibration source while considering any uncertainty of vibration propagation speed and formulates the localization as an optimization problem, and both location of the sources and the propagation speed are treated as unknown. This advantageously enables our method to adapt to variances of the velocity and produce a better generalized performance with respect to environmental changes experienced in the field. Our method operates using a DFOS system and AI techniques as an integrated solution for vibration source localization along an entire optical sensor fiber cable route and process real-time DFOS data and extract features that are related to a location of a source of vibrations that may threaten optical fiber facilities.
