  • Publication number: 20250151433
    Abstract: A pixel array that includes some pixels with high absorption (HA) structures and other pixels without HA structures exhibits increased dynamic range for near infrared (NIR) light. Additionally, the pixel array is a uniform array of photodiodes and thus does not exhibit current leakage that would have been caused by irregular isolation structures. Additionally, the pixel array may further a lateral overflow integration capacitor to further increase the dynamic range for NIR light.

  • Patent number: 12147163
    Abstract: A method for correcting critical dimension (CD) measurements of a lithographic tool includes steps as follows. A correction pattern having a first sub-pattern parallel to a first direction and a second sub-pattern parallel to a second direction is provided on a lithographic mask; wherein the first sub-pattern and the second sub-pattern come cross with each other. A first After-Develop-Inspection critical dimension (ADI CD) of a developed pattern formed on a photo-sensitive layer and transferred from the correction pattern is measured using the lithographic tool along a first scanning direction. A second ADI CD of the developed pattern is measured using the lithographic tool along a second scanning direction. The first ADI CD is subtracted from the second ADI CD to obtain a measurement bias value. Exposure conditions and/or measuring parameters of the lithographic tool are adjusted according to the measurement bias value.
