    Abstract: A solution for performing a data correction on a hierarchical integrated circuit layout is provided. A method includes: receiving a CD compensation map for the long range critical dimension variation prior to the data correction; grouping compensation amounts of the CD compensation into multiple compensation ranges; generating multiple target layers corresponding to the multiple compensation ranges; super-imposing a region of the CD compensation map having a compensation amount falling into a compensation range over a respective target layer to generate a target shape; performing the data correction on the layout to generate a data corrected layout; performing the data correction on the target shape separately to generate a data corrected target shape; and combining the data corrected layout and the data corrected target shape based on the CD compensation map.

    Abstract: A method for preparing a alignment layer surface provides a surface on the alignment layer. A chemically modified surfae [117] is formed as a result of quenching and/or ion beam treatment in accordance with the present invention, and reactive gas is introduced to the ion beam to saturate dangling bonds on the surface. Layer [117] is now substantially free from dangling bonds and free radicals which could degrade properties of a liquid crystal display. Now, a substrate [101] is formed for use in a liquid crystal displax device. Another method for preparing an alignment layer. The surface is bombarded with ions and quenched with a reactive component to saturate dangling bonds on the surface.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for calculating intermediate-range and long-range image contributions from mask polygons.
    SOLUTION: An algorithm is introduced having application to optical proximity correction in optical lithography. A finite integral for each sector of a polygon replaces an infinite integral. A finite integral is achieved by integrating over two triangles instead of integrating on full sectors. An analytical approach is presented for a power law kernel to reduce the numerical integration of a sector to an analytical expression evaluation. The mask polygon is divided into a plurality of regions to calculate effects of interaction such as intermediate-range and long-range effects, by truncating the mask instead of truncating the kernel function.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a light bulb containing a twisted nematic liquid crystal(LC) layer in which the contrast and efficiency are improved and visibility of spacer posts in a black state is decreased by forming a reflection electrode with its edges parallel or perpendicular to the director axis of liquid crystal molecules when the director axis is projected on the surface of a back face. SOLUTION: A reflection pixel electrode 10 is formed on the lower side of a LC layer 4. The general alignment of the LC molecules is shown as a series of arrows from an arrow 2 on the upper face of the LC layer 4 to the arrow 3 on the lower face. The twisting orientation of the arrows from the upper part to the lower part represents the twist of the LC. The axis of the LC molecule and the rubbing direction on the lower substrate 6 are aligned along the edge of the pixel electrode 10 except for a small pretilt angle of the molecules on the back face. The polarization direction of the input polarized light is parallel or perpendicular to the LC director projected on the upper substrate. The LC director having specified depth in the LC is slightly tilted from the back face, which means that the LC director is oriented in the direction in which the refractive index for abnormal rays is minimum or maximum.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for computing manufacturability of a lithographic mask to be used for fabricating a semiconductor device. SOLUTION: A set of a plurality of target edges is selected from mask layout data of a lithographic mask (402). Then, target edge pairs are selected from the selected set of target edges (404). The manufacturability of the lithographic mask, including the manufacturing penalty in making the lithographic mask, is computed based on the target edge pairs selected (406). The manufacturability of the lithographic mask is output (408). The manufacturability of the lithographic mask is dependent on the manufacturing penalty in making the lithographic mask.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fast and high-performance projection optics simulation method and system with a non-scalar (i.e. "non-Hopkins") effect taken into account. SOLUTION: A generalized bilinear kernel independent of a mask transmission function is formed to include various influences, and the kernel is processed by decomposition to compute an image including a non-scalar effect. Dominant eigenfunctions of the generalized bilinear kernel can be used to previously compute a convolution with possible polygon sectors. Then a mask transmission function can be decomposed into polygon sectors, and a weighted pre-image may be formed from a coherent sum of the pre-computed convolution for appropriate mask polygon sectors. The image at a point may be formed from the incoherent sum of the weighted pre-images over all of the dominant eigenfunctions of the generalized bilinear kernel. The resulting image can be used to perform MBOPC (model-based optical proximity correction). COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for performing model-based photolithography correction by partitioning a cell array layout having a plurality of polygons into a plurality of cells covering the layout, and to provide a program storage device.
    SOLUTION: The layout is representative of a desired design data hierarchy. A density map is generated corresponding to interactions between the polygons and the plurality of cells, and then the densities within each cell are convolved. An interaction map is formed by using the convolved densities, followed by truncating the interaction map to form a map of truncated cells. Substantially identical groupings of the truncated cells are segregated respectively into differing ones of a plurality of buckets. Each bucket contains a single set of identical groupings of truncated cells. A hierarchal arrangement is generated using the buckets, and the desired design data hierarchy is performed by using the hierarchal arrangement to ultimately correct for photolithography.
