Disclosed are joints and methods for forming joints of nonmetallic components such as piping components made from a nonmetallic composite material. The components are joined by an adhesive containing an x-ray absorbing additive for providing a contrasting signal in x-ray inspection of the joint. The joints can be nondestructively tested by positioning the joints relative to an x-ray source and an x-ray detector. The joints and the adhesive therein are then exposed to x-ray radiation from the source of x-ray radiation. The x-ray radiation, having passed from the x-ray source to the x-ray detector, is detected over an area and an x-ray image of the x-ray radiation detected is created. The x-ray image is then read to identify defects in the joint.

A projection detecting apparatus according to the present invention is that for detecting a projection on a surface of a running metal object, and includes a transmission antenna for radiating electromagnetic waves; a reception antenna for receiving reflected electromagnetic waves; and a transmission and reception signal processing section for processing a transmission signal and a reception signal. The transmission antenna and the reception antenna have unidirectionality and the transmission antenna and the reception antenna are installed in such a way that the reception antenna does not catch electromagnetic waves which have been radiated by the transmission antenna and reflected on the surface of the metal object and the reception antenna catches electromagnetic waves alone which have been radiated by the transmission antenna and reflected on the projection.

Measurements of line roughness are separated into groups depending upon pre-layers. Image data collected from similar pre-layer types are considered together in order to separate effects of line roughness from distortion of measurements caused by the pre-layers. The resulting line roughness measurements are used to estimate an aspect of line quality.

An undulation detection device includes a two-dimensional sensor configured to emit a sensing wave for distance measurement in a plurality of directions forming different lateral and vertical angles and to measure respective distances to objects from which the sensing wave is reflected, and a processor performs detecting an undulation of the measurement surface or an obstacle placed on the measurement surface from which the sensing wave is reflected, on the basis of a difference among the distances in the different directions, the difference being measured by the two-dimensional sensor, and outputting an undulation detection report, when an in-plane size of the undulation of the measurement surface or the obstacle placed on the measurement surface is equal to or more than a threshold.

A method and apparatus suitable for determining the concavity and convexity of line and space patterns formed on a sample. A profile is formed based on a charged-particle beam scan, the profile having a peak. When one foot portion of the peak converges more gradually than the other foot portion, a portion of the sample corresponding to the one foot portion is determined to be a convex portion. Alternatively, when one foot portion of the peak converges more steeply than the other foot portion, a portion of the sample corresponding to the one foot portion is determined to be a concave portion.

A nitride crystal is characterized in that, in connection with plane spacing of arbitrary specific parallel crystal lattice planes of the nitride crystal obtained from X-ray diffraction measurement performed with variation of X-ray penetration depth from a surface of the crystal while X-ray diffraction conditions of the specific parallel crystal lattice planes are satisfied, a uniform distortion at a surface layer of the crystal represented by a value of |d1−d2|/d2 obtained from the plane spacing d1 at the X-ray penetration depth of 0.3 μm and the plane spacing d2 at the X-ray penetration depth of 5 μm is equal to or lower than 2.1×10−3. The above configuration provides the nitride crystal having a crystal surface layer that is evaluated directly and reliably without breaking the crystal so that it can be used in a preferred fashion as a substrate for a semiconductor device as well as the nitride crystal substrate, an epilayer-containing nitride crystal substrate, a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same.

A system and a method are provided for detecting a surface characteristic of a surface. A plurality of transponders are located on the surface for transmitting electromagnetic surface waves and for receiving the electromagnetic surface waves upon being reflected, diffracted, refracted, scattered, or otherwise altered by ice on the surface. A controller is coupled to the plurality of transponders. The controller is adapted to coordinate the plurality of transponders for imaging the surface characteristic of the surface.

This invention provides a recording media defect inspection technique that makes possible high-speed and high-resolution defect inspection using an electron beam. A spindle motor rotates a recording media while an electron beam is being irradiated on a surface of a recording media, and detectors detect secondary electrons produced from the recording media, whereby unevenness information of the recording media surface is obtained. The obtained unevenness information on the recording media surface is Fourier transformed and a defect is detected. Further, by introducing deposition gas onto the recording media surface by gas introduction means while irradiating the electron beam on the recording media, a component of the deposition gas is deposited in a detected defect position on the recording media surface to form a mark.

An electron beam applied from an electron gun 1 and reflected off a surface of a specimen 7 placed on a stage 2 that is tilted at a tilt angle nullnull0 is detected, and a signal intensity thereof is measured by an electron detector 3. Based upon the measurement, an image processing unit 6 calculates a slope angle null of the surface of the specimen, and determines candidates for cross-sectional shape of the specimen. Signal intensity of the electromagnetic wave that would be reflected from a surface having a cross-sectional shape of each of the candidates if the tilt angle null were changed into nullnullnull0 are estimated, and compared with a signal intensity actually measured by the electron detector 3 with the tilt angle null being changed into nullnullnull0. Consequently, cross sectional shape and three-dimensional shape can be determined based upon a result of comparison, without utilizing a matching process of feature points.
