The increasing demand for on-time delivery is forcing semiconductor manufacturers to seek more efficient schedules of machines and other resources to meet targets while making effective use of excess capacities. This paper presents the modeling and solution methodology of lithography machine scheduling with load balancing and reticle expiration consideration for the bottleneck process of semico...

and carefully kept surgical records of the Mayo Hospital, Jeypore, Rajputana, from 1881 to the present year. Colonel T. H. Hendley, C.I.E., was Superintendent of the Dispensaries and of the Mayo Hospital, Jeypore, from 1881 to early in 1898, and performed nearly all the operations of lithotomy and litholapaxy (except when on leave) during that period; I acted for him for eighteen months in 1891...

Integrated circuit design advances into the nanoscale era towards more compact, higher performance and lower power devices. However, the large number of transistors per die has entailed an increase of device variability due to subwavelength lithography and layout complexity impacting manufacturability. Therefore, regular designs has emerged as an alternative cell design style towards more litho...

The Portofino Conglomerate (PC) cropping out in the Eastern Liguria is an approximately 500 m thick, very gently folded succession mainly composed of poorly bedded and mostly matrix-supported conglomerates. It stratigraphically rests on Helminthoid Flysch (UA3) thrusted onto Antola Unit. We vertically distinguished three ruditic litho/petrofacies: (i) Paraggi (fP) with carbonate clasts from suc...

Abstract This article investigates bypassing the inversion steps involved in a standard litho-type classification pipeline and performing directly from imaged seismic data. We consider set of deep learning methods that map data into classes, trained on two variants synthetic data: (i) one which we image using local Radon transform to obtain angle gathers, (ii) another start subsurface-offset ba...

We have investigated the conductance of long quantum wires formed in GaAs/AlxGa1−xAs heterostructures. Using realistic fluctuation potentials from donor layers we have simulated numerically the conductance of four different kinds of wires. While ideal wires show perfect quantization, potential fluctuations from random donors may give rise to strong conductance oscillations and degradation of th...
