摘要:
A method for pushing secure notifications includes a push service platform receiving a push notification message request from an entity registered with the push service platform, processing the push notification message request to generate a secure push notification message, and sending the secure push notification message to a target mobile computing device through a native third-party push service associated with the target mobile computing device. The secure push notification message includes a message ID (identifier) that corresponds to message content associated with the push notification message request. The method further includes the push service platform receiving a pull message request from the target mobile computing device, the pull message request requesting the message content associated with the push notification message corresponding to the message ID, and sending the requested message content associated with the push notification message to the mobile computing device.

A method is provided for designing an altPSM mask including a substrate. The method includes the following steps. Provide a circuit layout. Identify critical elements of the circuit layout. Provide a cutoff layout dimension. Identify critical segments of the circuit layout which are critical elements with a sub-cutoff dimension less than the cutoff dimension. Create basic phase shapes associated with the critical segments. Remove layout violations from the phase shapes. Determine whether the widths of phase shapes associated with a critical segment have unequal narrower and wider widths. If YES, then widen each narrower phase shape to match the width of wider phase shape associated with the critical segment and repeat the steps starting with removal of layout violations until the test answer is NO. When the test answer is NO, provide a layout pattern to an output.

A method and computer program product is described for optimizing the design of a circuit layout that assigns binary properties to the design elements according to a hierarchy of rules. For example, the design of an alternating phase shifted mask (altPSM) is optimized first according to rules that assign phase shapes that maximize image quality for critical circuit elements, and then further optimized to minimize mask manufacturability problems without significantly increasing the complexity of the design process flow. Further optimization of the design according to additional rules can be performed in a sequentially decreasing priority order. As the priority of rules decrease, some violation of lower priority rules may be acceptable, as long as higher priority rules are not violated.

摘要:
A method of evaluating process effects of multiple exposure photolithographic processes by first determining a set of expected images for each exposure step or process of the multiple exposure process individually and then obtaining a composite set of images by sequentially perturbing images from a first or previous exposure step by weighted images from the subsequent exposure step. Preferably, the expected images are determined by simulation in the form of normalized aerial images over a range of defocus for each exposure step, and the weighting factor used is the dose-ratio of the subsequent exposure dose to the prior step exposure dose. The resulting composite set of images may be used to evaluate multiple exposure processes, for example, to provide an estimate of yield for a given budget of dose and focus errors, or alternatively, to provide specifications for tool error budgets required to obtain a target yield.

摘要:
A method of patterning a substrate using a dual-tone development process is described. The patterning method comprises forming a layer of radiation-sensitive material on a substrate, wherein the layer of radiation-sensitive material comprises a dual tone resist. Thereafter, the patterning method comprises performing one or more exposures of the layer of radiation-sensitive material to one or more patterns of radiation, wherein at least one of the one or more exposures comprises using a mask having a dual-tone mask pattern region configured for printing dual tone features and a half-tone mask pattern region configured for printing half-tone features. Furthermore, the half-tone mask pattern region is optimized for use with the dual tone resist.
