Automatic alignment of a diffraction phase microscope for wafer defect inspection Graduate mentor: Renjie Zhou Faculty mentor: Lynford Goddard By: Melissa Crawford (undergraduate student)
Project Summary The project involve creating a motion controlled stage that is a double to part of a setup in another lab. On this setup I am working to precisely place a very small pinhole in the Fourier plane of a diffraction phase microscope. On this setup I am trying to create an automatic alignment system and the control code to go along with it. When I am done with my part of the project, it has to be transferred to the overall setup. My work is to help improve the stability of this microscope tool and save a lot of time that investigators currently spend on performing alignment.
