Method for Measuring Distance in Three Dimensions

Invention SummaryThis technology represents a novel approach to automatically detecting the distance between points in three-dimensional space. The approach allows for more freedom as the monitors do not need to directly align and the accuracy of the system is independent of environmental factors such as brightness or fiber length. This technology could...

Quantitative Inversion of Scanning Capacitance Microprobe (SCM) **Value Express**

Patent AbstractQuantitative dopant profile measurements are performed on a nanometer scale by using a scanning capacitance microscope. A nanometer scale tip of the microscope is positioned at a semiconductor surface, and local capacitance change is measured as a function of sample bias. ‘The method incorporates a feedback system and procedure...

Two-Way Single Electron Tunneling Methods for Atomic Scale Microscopy and Spectroscopy of Electronic States

Invention Summary: Characterizing dielectric materials, especially high K materials, is important for scaling of semi-conductor devices. A detailed atomic scale understanding of the electronic defects in these materials, including their origins and consequences, does not exist. Electrically active defects in these materials cause significant problems...

2D/3D Dopant Profiling and Strain Measurement by Single Electron Tunneling

Invention Summary: Previous attempts to image the dopant distribution in silicon using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) require techniques incompatible with dopant profiling in real devices. This novel technology uses Single Electron Tunneling Microscopy (SETM) to detect and image individual dopant atoms in silicon and other semiconductor materials...
