TOPIC:
Topography Sample Size Compression by Cantor Set Concept


ABSTRACT:
There are two crucial challenges in surface topography inspection for manufacturing quality control. The first one is to minimize the sample size that is usually extremely large and time consuming in acquisition and processing, and the second one is to make the topography characterization highly efficient. In this research, a new sampling strategy based on Cantor set concepts is proposed for minimizing the sample size of surface topography. The new method is designed to reduce the number of sampled data points and also makes sampling and signal processing easier. Meanwhile, it is also crucial to keep the key characteristics in the original signal for quality evaluation while reducing the sample size. In addition, the data retrieved from the AFM instrument was used to validate this new sampling method. Nevertheless, the results of this research demonstrate the effectiveness of this method in sample compression and topography characterization. This method could also benefit industrial companies by reducing quality cost.
