The Constrainedness Knife-Edge
A general rule of thumb is to tackle the hardest part of a search problem first. Many heuristics therefore try to branch on the most constrained variable. To test their effectiveness at this, we measure the constrainedness of a problem during search. We run experiments in several different domains, using both random and non-random problems. In each case, we observe a constrainedness "knlfe-edge...
متن کاملModeling, Measurement, and Standards for Wafer Inspection
The major technical issues regarding the calibration of Surface Scanning Inspection Systems (SSIS) are presented including descriptions of the salient features of SSISs and the deposition system using the differential mobility analyzer. The role of the NIST SRM 1963 (100 nm) as a calibration standard is discussed. Data from round robin experiments, which NIST has helped the SEMI SSIS Task Forc...
متن کاملWafer Inspection Technology Challenges for ULSI Manufacturing
The use of wafer inspection systems in managing semiconductor manufacturing yields is described. These systems now detect defects of size as small as 40 nm. Some high-speed systems have achieved 200-mm diameter wafer throughputs of 150 wafers per hour. The particular technologies involved are presented. Extensions of these technologies to meet the requirements of manufacturing integrated circui...
متن کاملIs there a Constrainedness Knife-edge?
Recent work on search has identified an intriguing feature dubbed the constrainedness knife-edge by Walsh (Proc. AAAI98, 406–411) whereby overconstrained problems seem to become on average even more constrained as the search goes deeper, while underconstrained ones become less constrained. The present paper shows that while the knife-edge phenomenon itself is real, many of the claims that have ...
متن کاملNew DUV Optical Wafer Inspection System
OVERVIEW: In the midst of the rapid acceleration in the advancement of technology nodes, there is a demand for improved performance of waferinspection systems, namely, greater sensitivity as device size moves toward higher integration and density, newer materials such as ArF resist, Cu wiring and low-k films, and higher throughput with 300-mm-diameter wafers. In response to these demands, Hitac...
