| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7895550 | On chip local MOSFET sizing A method for reducing variation in a desired property between transistors in an integrated circuit that is fabricated with a given process. The process is characterized to form a mathematical model that associates changes in polysilicon density and active density in... | 02/22/2011 |
| 7646476 | Process excursion detection A method for analyzing defect information on a substrate, including logically dividing the substrate into zones, and detecting defects on the substrate to produce the defect information. The defect information from the substrate is analyzed on a zone by zone basis t... | 01/12/2010 |
| 7196801 | Patterned substrate surface mapping A method for measuring a characteristic of a substrate, including directing an incident beam at an inspection grid of points on the substrate, receiving the reflected beam with a position sensitive detector, measuring the displacement of the reflected beam from its ... | 03/27/2007 |
| 7143642 | Integrated moisture, length, and strength tester A fiber testing station. Electrically conductive first fiber retaining means engage first ends of fibers, where the fibers extend in substantially one direction from the first fiber retaining means to distal second ends of the retained fibers. The first fiber retain... | 12/05/2006 |
| 7115866 | Site stepping for electron beam micro analysis A method of measuring properties of a sample using an electron beam. Coordinates of a measurement site on the sample, and a diameter of the electron beam are defined. Multiple measurement locations are determined within the measurement site, using the coordinates of... | 10/03/2006 |
| 7029591 | Planarization with reduced dishing A method of forming a planarized layer on a substrate, where the substrate is cleaned, and the layer is formed having a surface with high portions and low portions. A resistive mask is formed over the low portions of the layer, but not over the high portions of the ... | 04/18/2006 |
| 6443069 | Simulated ammunition An ammunition simulant including a first portion having a stud portion and a head portion. The stud portion is in coaxial alignment with the head portion, wherein the stud portion includes at least one engagement member. The simulant also includes a secon... | 09/03/2002 |
| 6348127 | Process for production of chemical pulp from herbaceous plants A process for production of chemical fibrous pulp for making paper, paperboard and other fibrous products from herbaceous plants, such as kenaf. Pulp from the herbaceous plant is made by a process which involves densification of pieces of all or part of t... | 02/19/2002 |
