    Abstract: A method and apparatus for extracting the contents (39) of voids (13) and/or pores present in a semiconductor device to obtain information indicative of the nature of the voids and/or pores, e.g. to assist with metrology measurements. The method includes heating the semiconductor wafer to expel the contents of the voids and/or pores, collecting the expelled material (41) in a collector, and measuring a consequential change in mass of the semiconductor wafer (29) and/or the collector (37), to extract information indicative of the nature of the voids. This information may include information relating to the distribution of the voids and/or pores, and/or the sizes of the voids and/or pores, and/or the chemical contents of the voids and/or pores. The collector may include a condenser having a temperature-controlled surface (e.g. in thermal communication with a refrigeration unit) for condensing the expelled material.

    Abstract: An abnormality detection device includes: a coupling-capacitor having a first-end and a second-end coupled with a high-voltage circuit; a signal output unit; a signal extraction unit; and a signal input unit. The signal output unit is coupled with the first-end of the coupling-capacitor via a detection-resistor, and outputs an alternating-current inspection-signal. The signal extraction unit extracts the inspection-signal, as an extraction-signal, output between the detection-resistor and the coupling-capacitor. The signal input unit detects abnormality of insulation resistance of the high-voltage circuit based on a level of the inputted extraction-signal. The signal extraction unit includes a signal removing filter and a subtraction circuit. The filter removes a signal equal in frequency to the inspection-signal and passes low-frequency noises lower in frequency than the inspection-signal. The subtraction circuit outputs a differential signal, as the extraction-signal, between a signal having passed through the filter and a signal not having passed through the filter.

    Abstract: A corrosion sensor for detecting the action of corrosive media on a metallic component when the sensor is mounted in the vicinity of the metallic component in use is disclosed. The sensor includes an electrically conducting corrodible element mounted on a non conducting substrate, the corrodible element being covered with a protective coating such as paint adapted to protect the corrodible element from corrosive media. The protective coating defines a temporary feature such as a paint defect which extends across the corrodible element and is designed to permit attack on the corrodible element by corrosive media after a predetermined period of time. The corrodible element comprises a pair of spaced tracks extending generally in a longitudinal direction and a series of corrodible tracks, each corrodible track extending generally in a lateral direction and forming an electrical connection between the spaced tracks. The temporary feature extends longitudinally, in the space between the pair of tracks, across a number of the corrodible tracks whereby to permit a corrosive attack on a number of the corrodible tracks after the predetermined period of time.

    Abstract: A closed-loop calibration scheme is configured to allow a device to remain in continuous operation. A signal generator device provides a pseudorandom sequence for a signal received by a magnetic field magnetic field sensor, such as a Hall-effect sensor. A signal decoder circuit receives the output signal and decouples the generated spread spectrum signal from the interference by measuring the gain in the overall signal. The decoder device distinguishes the known spread spectrum signal from any perturbation effects of particular bandwidths. A processing circuit then outputs a signal that has an operation parameter that has been adjusted to compensate for the perturbation effects. The processing circuit provides the receiver circuit with the compensation signal, hence forming a closed-loop calibration configuration.

    Abstract: A method for determining at least one electrical property of an earth formation includes emitting an electromagnetic signal into the earth formation from an antenna and measuring an electromagnetic signal from the earth formation. The antenna is a broadband log antenna mounted on a substrate having at least a high dielectric permittivity, defined as a dielectric permittivity of about ε=100 to ε=1000 or a gigantic dielectric permittivity, defined as a dielectric permittivity of about ε=1000 or greater. The antenna has a radius between about 2.5 millimeters (mm) and 10 centimeters (cm).
