    摘要: This disclosure includes a SRAF layout that minimizes the number of SRAFs required to reliably print contact shapes. A method is provided that reduces the number of necessary SRAF features on a mask, placing at least two elongated SRAF shapes on the mask such that the elongated SRAF shapes extend past at least one edge of a mask shape in at least one direction.

    摘要: The present invention is an iterative method or procedure involving a series of optical proximity correction (OPC) process steps for refining an integrated circuit design layout on a wafer during a photolithographic process. The iterative method may be applied as a system and computer program to perform classifying and grouping edge fragments according to directional orientations, selecting an edge fragment or a combination of non-opposing edge fragments, calculating an edge placement error of the selected edge fragment and proximally shifting the edge fragment until a quality limitation is met.

    摘要: An apparatus and corresponding method for detecting, locating, or defining a short in a thin-film module. The apparatus includes a mechanical fixture supporting the module. A current source provides a current pulse to the module which produces a magnetic field and heating nearby the short which turns on and off as the pulsed current in the short turns on and off. Polarized light is directed onto the module, with an intermediate element disposed between the module and the source of the polarized light. The intermediate element may be a stress birefringent coating (e.g., a polyimide insulating layer) disposed on the module and onto which the polarized light is directed. The sample is rotated 0 to 45 degrees to maximize the birefringent effect. Alternatively, the intermediate element may be a magneto-optical Faraday rotator. A microscope is used to observe the module, facilitating identification of a short by the twisting of the polarization of the light as the short expands and shrinks in response to the heating or in response to the localized magnetic field. The preferred rotator is a composite having a garnet substrate, an iron garnet film disposed on the substrate, and a thin aluminum mirror layer disposed on the iron garnet film. The apparatus and method of the present invention have several applications.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for locating shorts in multi-layer electronic packages during manufacture allows repair of the shorts and improved yields of the packages. A multi-layer package is fitted in a fixture after forming a thin film layer of metalization, and test is performed to detect shorts in the package. If a short is detected, a low current, high frequency signal is injected in pins on a bottom surface of the package. An approximate two dimensional location of the short is sensed by detecting an electromagnetic force induced by a magnetic field inductively coupled to a sensor proximate to the short on a top surface of the multi-layer package. The approximate location of the short is then inspected to precisely locate the short.
