  • Publication number: 20120166303
    Abstract: Described are systems and methods for facilitating an on-line transaction. An information item is received from an on-line location. The information item is related to an available item. A potential recipient of the available item is identified. The potential recipient is qualified for notification of the available item by determining a physical proximity between the available item and an offeror of the item. The potential recipient is qualified for notification of the available item by determining a relationship between the offeror of the item and the potential recipient. An electronic notification is generated for the qualified potential recipient in response to the physical proximity determination and the relationship determination.

  • Publication number: 20120013881
    Abstract: A method of determining an overlay error. Measuring an overlay target having process-induced asymmetry. Constructing a model of the target. Modifying the model, e.g., by moving one of the structures to compensate for the asymmetry. Calculating an asymmetry-induced overlay error using the modified model. Determining an overlay error in a production target by subtracting the asymmetry-induced overlay error from a measured overlay error. In one example, the model is modified by varying asymmetry p(n?), p(n?) and the calculating an asymmetry-induced overlay error is repeated for a plurality of scatterometer measurement recipes and the step of determining an overlay error in a production target uses the calculated asymmetry-induced overlay errors to select an optimum scatterometer measurement recipe used to measure the production target.
