随後登場的是由黃凱珉擔任獨奏的德沃札克《A小調小提琴協奏曲》。習慣了德
奧派的沈穩莊重,這首協奏曲飽滿的民族風情令人忍不住豎起耳朵,仔細跟隨
其中的節奏韻律往前邁進。黃凱珉與她的名琴夥伴「柯查克」(Kortschak)為
此曲賦予野性、火花四射的風格,粗獷中不失細膩,音色厚重卻富有層次感。
把位變换之時並非一步到位,而是在音和音之間保留一絲微分音製造轉折感,
宛如回眸一笑百媚生,旋律立刻多了幾分撩人的生命力。何時需要俐落切換、
何時須得留有餘地,都是演奏家巧心的安排,處處流露出黃凱珉是如何對這首
作品反覆練習研究,以及發自內心的熱愛。

The next was a solo performance of Dvorak's Violin Concerto in A Minor by Huang Kaimin. Accustomed to the solemnity of the German-Austrian tradition, the rich ethnic flavor of this concerto irresistibly causes the listener to perk one’s ears, and meticulously follow its rhythmic and melodic progression. Huang Kaimin, together with her famous “Kortschak” violin, imbued the piece with a wild, sparking style—robust yet delicate, heavy yet layered. The shift in positions was not done in one fell swoop but was executed with slight microtones between notes, creating a sense of transition as alluring as a coy smile that infused new life to the melody. Her decision of when to switch positions cleanly or when to leave room for a more subtle interpretation was a testament to the performer’s skillful arrangement, revealing how Huang had meticulously and repeatedly practiced this work, and her great passion for it.

Translation (Traditional Chinese)
CD-SEM technology is not going away, but in the future we see OCD continuing to supplant CD-SEM for many etch and lithography applications where customers need additional structural information. CD-SEM has limited capabilities for many types of measurements in that, because it is a top-down imaging technique, it cannot provide information about trench depth or detailed information about sidewall shape. It is also problematic in that it is difficult or impossible for CD-SEM to accurately measure buried or hidden structures in 3D devices, or to accurately differentiate between the thickness of the grating line and the thickness of the line’s sidewall spacer in spacer pitch splitting structures. Cross-sectional electron microscopy can provide this additional information, but it is a destructive process and in a fab environment is generally slow to provide feedback. OCD has advantages because it is a fast, non-destructive measurement that is able to provide significantly more structural information than CD-SEM, especially for today’s more complicated 3D semiconductor structures.
