ABSTRACT

Accurate modeling of light scattering from nanometer scale defects on Silicon wafersiscritical for enabling increasingly shrinking semiconductor technology nodes of the future. Yet, such modeling of defect scattering remains unsolved since existing modeling techniques fail to account for complex defect and wafer geometries. Here, we present results of laser beam scattering from spherical and ellipsoidal particles located on the surface of a silicon wafer. A commercially available electromagnetic field solver (HFSS) was deployed on a multiprocessor cluster to obtain results with previously unknown accuracy down to light scattering intensity of -170 dB. We compute three dimensional scattering patterns of silicon nanospheres located on a semiconductor wafer for both perpendicular and parallel polarization and show the effect of sphere size on scattering. We further computer scattering patterns of nanometer scale ellipsoidal particles having different orientation angles and unveil the effects of ellipsoidal orientation on scattering.

  HYBRID ENCRYPTION ALGORITHMS FOR MEDICAL DATA STORAGE SECURITY IN CLOUD DATABASE Fenghua Zhang1，Yaming Chen2，Weiming Meng3 and Qingtao Wu4 1Computer Technology, Henan University of Science and Technology, Luo Yang, China 2,3Computer Science and Technology, Henan University of Science and Technology, Luo Yang, China 4Professor, Henan University of Science and Technology, Luo Yang, China ABSTRACT Cloud database are derivatives of Cloud computing. At present, most medical institutions store data in cloud database. Although the cloud database improves the efficiency of use, it also poses a huge impact and challenge to the secure storage of data. The article proposes a hybrid algorithm to solve the data security problem in the hospital cloud database. First, the AES algorithm is improved. The improved algorithm is called P-AES algorithm. The P-AES algorithm is then combined with the RSA algorithm, called a hybrid algorithm. The experimental results show that the hybrid enc...
