20090208091 | INSPECTION APPARATUS FOR INSPECTING PATTERNS OF SUBSTRATE - A degradation in throughput is prevented even in cases where it is necessary to reduce a pixel size during inspection according to a finer circuit pattern. In an inspection method and an inspection apparatus in which an inspected sample having a circuit pattern is irradiated with a charged particle beam to generate a signal, an image is obtained from the signal, and in which a defect of the circuit pattern is detected from the image, the inspection is performed while an inspected pixel size in a direction in which the charged particle beam is scanned relative to the inspected sample and an inspected pixel size in a stage moving direction are separately set. The stage is moved while the inspected sample is placed thereon. | 08-20-2009 |
20090261251 | INSPECTION APPARATUS AND INSPECTION METHOD - Inspection apparatus and method adapted to inspect a sample by irradiating it with an electron beam and detecting defects on the sample from an image formed based on a secondary signal generated from the sample. The inspection apparatus includes: a scanning deflector for scanning the sample with a beam having an irradiation energy for imaging irradiation regions of the sample, a blanking deflector for blanking the beam to prevent it from irradiating the sample during scanning, a moving stage for continuously moving the sample during scanning such that the beam is deflected and scanned continuously from one side of the sample to the other, and a controller for sending a deflection command to the blanking deflector to blank the beam over nonirradiation regions of the scanning regions of the sample according to selection of irradiation regions of the sample. | 10-22-2009 |

This leads to simple identification of a systematic defect. A defective image obtained through defect inspection or review of a semiconductor device is automatically pattern-matched with design layout data. A defect is superimposed on a design layout pattern for at least one layer of a target layer, a layer immediately above the target layer, and a layer immediately below the target layer. The state of overlap of the defect is determined as within the pattern, over the pattern, or outside the pattern, and the defect is automatically classified. | 05-24-2012 |

20120316542 | MEDICAL DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD AND MEDICAL DEVICE ASSEMBLY - A medical device in which a part to be secondarily shaped comprises a molded silicone rubber article is subjected to heatless shaping by irradiation with electron-rays. The irradiation with electron-rays enables shaping and, furthermore, sterilization under some conditions. In a medical device comprising a part in which at least a silicone rubber is used and the mechanical properties of the silicone rubber preferentially appear, the shape of the above-described part upon molding is deformed with the use of a correcting member to a level exceeding the desired deformed shape and maintained in this state. Next, electron-ray irradiation is conducted in this state and then the correcting member is eliminated. Thus, the desired deformed shape intermediate between the shape upon the molding and the shape upon the electron-ray irradiation can be obtained. | 12-13-2012 |
20120330320 | BONE CEMENT INJECTION PUNCTURE NEEDLE - An outer needle of a bone cement injection puncture needle has first side holes near the tip, and second side holes near the base. When an inner needle is removed from the outer needle and an inner tube is inserted into the outer needle in place thereof, a reduced-pressure passage is formed between the outer needle and the inner tube. When bone cement is injected into a bone, gas and liquid in the bone pass through the reduced-pressure passage and are discharged from the body, thereby preventing increased pressure in the bone. As a result, the bone cement can be prevented from leaking to outside of the bone. | 12-27-2012 |
