Methods are provided for fabricating a semiconductor device. One method comprises providing a first pattern having a first polygon, the first polygon having a first tonality and having a first side and a second side, the first side adjacent to a second polygon having a second tonality, and the second side adjacent to a third polygon having the second tonality, and forming a second pattern by reversing the tonality of the first pattern. The method further comprises forming a third pattern from the second pattern by converting the second polygon from the first tonality to the second tonality forming a fourth pattern from the second pattern by converting the third polygon from the first tonality to the second tonality forming a fifth pattern by reversing the tonality of the third pattern, and forming a sixth pattern by reversing the tonality of the fourth pattern.

In one embodiment, a polarization measuring device comprises a light source, a reticle positioned below the light source, an opaque frame having a single aperture, the opaque frame positioned below the reticle, a lens positioned below the opaque frame, and a wafer having photoresist on its surface. The aperture of the frame allows no more than a first light ray to pass from the light source through the reticle and the lens onto a first surface point on the photoresist. The aperture of the frame also allows no more than a second light ray to pass from the light source through the reticle and the lens onto a second surface point on the photoresist. The degree of polarization of the light source can be determined from the first amount of light absorbed at the first surface point and the second amount of light absorbed at the second surface point.

An optical tool includes a tool body that is transparent to light. Pluralities of parallel opaque lines on the body form a first outline in the shape of the square, and a second outline in the shape of a square which is centrally located relative to and within the first-mentioned square. Each pair of adjacent parallel lines has therebetween a first region that allows transmission of light therethrough without changing phase thereof, and a second region alongside the first region that allows transmission of light therethrough while shifting the phase thereof by 90°. The phase shifting and non-phase shifting regions are positioned so that the images of the outlines provided by a lens on an object shit in position a substantial amount as the distance between the lens and the object is changed.

In the present method of electrically testing the width of a line, a short pulse of laser energy is applied to the line to generate conductive electrons therein. An electrical potential is applied to the line to cause electrons to flow in the line, and current is measured to determine the width of the line.

A method and system for providing a semiconductor device on a substrate are disclosed. The method and system include providing a tunneling barrier on the substrate and providing at least one gate on the tunneling barrier. The at least one of gate includes a first edge, a second edge and a base. The method and system further include providing a source and/or a drain for the at least one gate. The source and/or a drain are in proximity to the first edge or the first and second edges of the at least one gate. The at least one gate, the source and/or drain or both the at least one gate and the source and/or drain are configured such that source and/or drain do not substantially overlap the at least one gate at the base of the at least one gate.

Embodiments include: providing a gate structure and a diffusion contact on a substrate; providing a gate contact on the gate structure; providing a metal routing structure that does not overlie a portion of the gate contact, the diffusion contact, or a combination thereof; and providing a via routing structure over the portion and under a part of the metal routing structure to couple the gate contact, the diffusion contact, or a combination thereof to the metal routing structure.

Integrated circuits and methods for fabricating integrated circuits are provided. One method includes creating a master pattern layout including first and second adjacent cells. The first adjacent cell has a first border pin with a first routing line. The second adjacent cell has a second border pin with a second routing line. The first and second routing lines overlap to define an edge-edge stitch to couple the first and second border pins. The master pattern layout is decomposed into sub-patterns.
