Abstract: Systems for and methods for generating precise structure reconstruction using slice and view images, are disclosed. An example method comprises, obtaining a slice and view images of a sample that depicts a 3D fiducial and cross-sections of a structure in the sample. The 3D fiducial is configured such that when a layer of material having a uniform thickness is removed from a surface of the sample that includes the 3D fiducial the cross-sectional shape of the 3D fiducial in the new surface is consistent. Relative positions are determined between the 3D fiducial the cross-sections of the structure in individual images. Positional relationships are then determined between the cross-sections of the structure in different images in a common reference frame based on the relative positions.

Abstract: A system for reception of radio transmissions includes: a collector, coupled to a plurality of transmitters via a plurality of wireless radio frequency (RF) links. The collector has a channelizer chain that receives an RF signal stream comprising broadcasts from the plurality of transmitters according to one or more known packet transmission protocols, converts the RF signal stream into digital bit streams that each correspond to a corresponding frequency channel. The collector also has a plurality of packet receivers that comport with a number of frequency channels provided by the channelizer chain and that are coupled in parallel to the channelizer chain. Each of the receivers processes more than one sample within each bit of a corresponding digital bit stream to detect, demodulate, and decode bits of the corresponding digital bit stream into packet payloads. The collector validates the packet payloads and forwards the packet payloads to one or more entities.

Abstract: A document object may be transmitted to a plurality of user devices. The document object may include at least one field for display of a content object of a group of content objects. The field may be associated with an identifier corresponding to the group of content objects. When the document object is accessed, then the access may trigger a request to a server, which may select a content object of the group of content objects using a content object identification function. The content object identification function may be dynamically updated based at least in part on the document object being accessed by one or more of the plurality of user devices. Responsive to the request, a unique content object identifier corresponding to the selected content object may be transmitted to the user device and displayed at the accessed document object.

Abstract: Redeposition of substrate material on a fiducial resulting from charged particle beam (CPB) or laser beam milling of a substrate can be reduced with a shield formed on the substrate surface. The shield typically has a suitable height that can be selected based on proximity of an area to be milled to the fiducial. The shield can be formed with the milling beam using beam-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The same or different beams can be used for milling and beam-assisted CVD.

Abstract: Adaptive endpoint detection is applied to delayering of a multi-layer sample utilizing a combination of dynamic and predetermined parameters. Tuned predetermined parameters, varying between layers of the sample, allow automated operation across multiple sites of a device. A semiconductor logic device is described, having a zone of thick metal layers and a zone of thin metal layers. The described techniques can be integrated with analysis operations and can be applied across a wide range of device types and manufacturing processes.
