    Abstract: An after develop inspection tool considers tool-to-tool variability when determining confidence score for wafers under inspection. A golden wafer is used to calculate a RGB signature as well as the slope of the individual RGB curves for different lamp intensities. These slopes are normalized in order to generate a compensation factor for red values and blue values within a signature. When a wafer is subsequently inspected at an ADI station using a different lamp, the test wafer RGB signature is likely captured at a different lamp intensity. Consequently, when comparing the signatures, the golden wafer RGB signature is adjusted by the compensation factors, based on the different lamp's intensity setting, and this adjusted RGB signature is then used to determine whether a defect exists on the test wafer.

    Abstract: A method of analysis, analysis system, program product, apparatus, and method of supplying analysis of value incorporating the use of at least one data acquisition device, a central processor, and a communication link that is connectable between the data acquisition device and the central processor. The central processor is loaded with multivariate calibration models developed for predicting values for various properties of interest, wherein the calibration models are capable of compensating for variations in an effectively comprehensive set of measurement conditions and secondary material characteristics. As so configured, the calibration models can compensate for instrument variance without instrument-specific calibration transfer. Measurement results generated by the central processor can be transmitted to an output device of a user interface.

    Abstract: The purpose of the invention is to properly determine the replacement time of a guard window of an arc sensor using an original function of the arc sensor.The apparatus for monitoring a guard window of an arc sensor according to the present invention is provided with an arc sensor guard window (28) mounted on an arc sensor unit (20) and a standard reflecting plate (30) located at a position a determined distance from the front surface of the guard window (28). And the apparatus detects the reflected light (27) from the standard reflecting plate (30) when a laser beam (26) scans the standard reflecting plate (30), before the guard window (28) is used for an arc welding operation. The apparatus memorizes the quantity of detected light reception as the first quantity. The apparatus then detects the reflected light (27) from the standard reflecting plate (30) in the same way as before, after the guard window (28) is used for an arc welding operation. The apparatus memorizes the quantity of detected light reception as the second quantity of detected light reception as the second quantity. Based on the difference between the first quantity and the second quantity, the condition of the guard window (28) is checked and it is determined whether or not the guard window (28) should be replaced.
