Cell Library Development Methodology for Throughput Enhancement of Character Projection Equipment
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a cell library development methodology for throughput enhancement of character projection equipment. First, an ILP (Integer Linear Programming)-based cell selection is proposed for the equipment for which both of the CP (Character Projection) and VSB (Variable Shaped Beam) methods are available, in order to minimize the number of electron beam (EB) shots, that is, time to fabricate chips. Secondly, the influence of cell directions on area and delay time of chips is examined. The examination helps to reduce the number of EB shots with a little deterioration of area and delay time because unnecessary directions of cells can be removed. Finally, a case study is shown in which the numbers of EB shots are shown for several cases. key words: cell library, character projection, electron beam, EB shots, throughput, optimization, integer linear programming

A CP Mask Development Methodology for MCC Systems
The character projection (CP) is utilized for maskless lithography and is a potential for the future photomask manufacture because the CP can project ICs faster than the point beam projection and the variable-shaped beam (VSB) projection. The drawback of the CP is its lower throughput than that of photomask-based lithography and the amortization cost of CP equipment leads to the price rise of I...

متن کاملThroughput Improvement of STS-Based MC DS-CDMA System with Variable Spreading Factor
The throughput enhancement of Space-Time Spreading (STS)-based Multicarrier Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (MC DS-CDMA) system is investigated in this paper. Variable Spreading Factor (VSF) is utilized to improve the data throughput of the system. In this contribution, an analytical approach is proposed to compute a new expression for the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of t...
متن کاملCharacter Projection Lithography for Application-Specific Integrated Circuits
In the recent fabrication of semiconductor devices, quite various devices are produced while most of them result in small production volumes. A small production volume of ICs leads to a rise of the price of an IC because the expensive investment made in its photomask set must be redeemed by passing on the price. The price of photomasks increases rapidly as the transistor integration advances. T...
متن کاملGeneration of Cisplatin-Resistant Ovarian Cancer Cell Lines
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological cancer in which cisplatin-based treatment plays fundamental role as the first line chemotherapy option. However, development of platinum-resistance is a critical and poorly understood problem in ovarian cancer treatment. Although in vitro generation of platinum-resistant ovarian cancer cell lines is a long established approach to uncover the molec...
