Resolving Deep Sub-Wavelength Scattering of Nanoscale Sidewalls Using Parametric Microscopy

The quantitative optical measurement of deep sub-wavelength features with sub-nanometer sensitivity addresses the measurement challenge in the semiconductor fabrication process. Optical scatterings from the sidewalls of patterned devices reveal abundant structural and material information. We demonstrated a parametric indirect microscopic imaging (PIMI) technique that enables recovery of the profile of wavelength-scale objects with deep sub-wavelength resolution, based on measuring and filtering the variations of far-field scattering intensities when the illumination was modulated. The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) numerical simulation was performed, and the experimental results were compared with atomic force microscopic (AFM) images to verify the resolution improvement achieved with PIMI. This work may provide a new approach to exploring the detailed structure and material properties of sidewalls and edges in semiconductor-patterned devices with enhanced contrast and resolution, compared with using the conventional optical microscopy, while retaining its advantage of a wide field of view and relatively low cost.     

大木作术语的物外之意——以四川穿斗民居为例

对四川穿斗民居的田野调查发现,工匠使用的术语存在一物多名、多物同名、异物类名等现象.在梳理田野调查、已有文献大木作术语的基础上,通过设计和施工阶段术语的不同作用,分析具体营造中工匠的思维与意识.同时从术语的角度,就穿斗结构以及术语的重名、异名现象提出新的认识.

一种基于深度学习的智能威胁评估算法

在现代信息化战争中依据战场态势变化进行合理威胁评估，对实现指挥系统自动化具有重要意义。为了克服传统规则算法评估能力的局限，设计了一种基于深度学习的新型智能威胁评估算法。首先设定了防空威胁评估指标选取原则，在此基础上从多个不同角度出发建立了反映空中目标威胁的指标体系，然后构建深度神经网络模型予以解决。新算法的优点在于威胁评估快速可信、易于实现，且对于不断变化的空情威胁可进行持续更新优化。最后，通过典型作战场景的仿真数据验证了模型的有效性和可行性。
