In very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuit design, shrinking transistor feature size using advanced lithography techniques has been a holy grail for the whole semiconductor industry. However, the gap between the manufacturing capability and the design expectation becomes more and more critical for sub-28nm technology nodes Under the constraint of 193nm wavelength lithography, advanced circui...

This article presents an investigation study of stereo-based 3D surface reconstruction algorithms by providing an overview of the diierent approaches that have been investigated in the stereo literature during the last decade. This study considers only the two-views plain stereo algorithms and provides another classiication for the stereo approaches based on the features used in the stereo lite...

Nanosphere lithography (NSL) has been studied as the effective method of fabricating nano-scale array. This paper presents template-assisted NSL to obtain high-quality crystal in regularity and coverage. A periodic array of 100 nm deep nano trenches with two different widths, 400 and 450 nm was fabricated by nano imprint lithography (NIL), and used as the template. When polystyrene nanospheres ...

In this paper, we exploit two characteristics of stereoscopic vision: the pop-out effect and the comfort zone. We propose a visual saliency prediction model for stereoscopic images based on stereo contrast and stereo focus models. The stereo contrast model measures stereo saliency based on the color/depth contrast and the pop-out effect. The stereo focus model describes the degree of focus base...

in this paper metal-assisted chemical etching has been applied to pattern porous silicon regions and silicon nanohole arrays in submicron period simply by using positive photoresist as a mask layer. in order to define silicon nanostructures, metal-assisted chemical etching (mace) was carried out with silver catalyst. provided solution (or materiel) in combination with laser interference lithogr...

Time-lapse stereo – using natural illumination changes in stereo reconstruction for large scale outdoor scene is yet an unexplored application of spacetime stereo framework. In this project, we collect several time-lapse stereo data sets for further research use and also evaluate the performance of time-lapse stereo by comparing the quality of its disparity images to the ones using classic ster...
