Abstract: Additive manufacturing, such as laser sintering or melting of additive layers, can produce parts rapidly at small volume and in a factory setting. To ensure the additive manufactured parts are of high quality, a real-time non-destructive evaluation (NDE) technique is required to detect defects while they are being manufactured. The present invention describes an in-situ (real-time) inspection unit that can be added to an existing additive manufacturing (AM) tool, such as an FDM (fused deposition modeling) machine, or a direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) machine, providing real-time information about the part quality, and detecting flaws as they occur. The information provided by this unit is used to a) qualify the part as it is being made, and b) to provide feedback to the AM tool for correction, or to stop the process if the part will not meet the quality, thus saving time, energy and reduce material loss.

Abstract: An illumination system for recognizing material includes a measurement stage, a light-providing part, a light-receiving part, and a processing part. The measurement stage is upwardly open and the measurement target is located on the measurement stage. The light-providing part includes a plurality of illumination sections providing incident lights to the measurement target, and provides multi-directional incident lights to the measurement target from multiple upper directions at which the measurement stage is open. The light-receiving part receives single-directional reflection lights reflected by the measurement target according to the multi-directional incident lights provided by the light-providing part. The processing part acquires a multi-directional intensity distribution of multi-directional reflection lights reflected by the measurement target according to a single-directional incident light from the single-directional reflection lights reflected by the measurement target according to the multi-directional incident lights, and determines material of the measurement target from the multi-directional intensity distribution of reflection lights. Thus, material of an object may be easily and accurately known at a low cost.

Abstract: A method of inspecting a defect present at a surface portion of a photomask blank having at least one thin film formed on a substrate by use of the inspecting optical system. The method includes setting the distance between the defect and an objective lens of an inspecting optical system to a defocus distance, applying inspection light to the defect through the objective lens, collecting reflected light from the region irradiated with the inspection light, through the objective lens, as a magnified image, identifying a light intensity variation portion of the magnified image, and determining the rugged shape of the defect on the basis of a variation in light intensity of the light intensity variation portion of the magnified image.

Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure relate to a plasma chamber having an optical device for measuring emission intensity of plasma species. In one implementation, the plasma chamber includes a chamber body defining a substrate processing region therein, the chamber body having a sidewall, a viewing window disposed in the sidewall, and a plasma monitoring device coupled to the viewing window. The plasma monitoring device includes an objective lens and an aperture member having a pinhole, wherein the aperture member is movable relative to the objective lens by an actuator to adjust the focal point in the plasma using principles of optics, allowing only the light rays from the focal point in the plasma to reach the pinhole. The plasma monitoring device therefore enables an existing OES (coupled to the plasma monitoring device through an optical fiber) to monitor emission intensity of the species at any specific locations of the plasma.
