ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 2 — Bhushan L. Sopori of Denver, and Artak
Hambarian of Yerevan, Armenia, have developed an optic probe for
semiconductor characterization.

According to the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Described herein is
an optical probe for use in characterizing surface defects in wafers,
such as semiconductor wafers. The optical probe detects laser light
reflected from the surface of the wafer within various ranges of
angles. Characteristics of defects in the surface of the wafer are
determined based on the amount of reflected laser light detected in
each of the ranges of angles. Additionally, a wafer characterization
system is described that includes the described optical probe."

The inventors were issued U.S. Patent No. 7,420,669 on Aug. 26.

The patent has been assigned to Midwest Research Institute, Kansas
City, Mo.

The original application was filed
on July 1, 2004, and is available at:

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
