    摘要: Embodiments of an interface circuit are described. This interface circuit includes an input pad, a control node and a transistor, which has three terminals. A first terminal is electrically coupled to the input pad and a second terminal is electrically coupled to the control node. Moreover, the interface circuit includes a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) switch, which is electrically coupled to the input pad and the control node, where the MEMS switch is in parallel with the transistor. In the absence of a voltage applied to a control terminal of the MEMS switch, the MEMS switch is closed, thereby electrically coupling the input pad and the control node. Furthermore, when the voltage is applied to the control terminal of the MEMS switch, the MEMS switch is open, thereby electrically decoupling the input pad and the control node.

    摘要: A convolution of the kernel over a layout in a multi-core processor system includes identifying a sector, called a dynamic band, of the layout including a plurality of evaluation points. Layout data specifying the sector of the layout is loaded in shared memory, which is shared by a plurality of processor cores. A convolution operation of the kernel and the evaluation points in the sector is executed. The convolution operation includes iteratively loading parts of the basis data set, called a stride, into space available in shared memory given the size of the layout data specifying the sector. A plurality of threads is executed concurrently using the layout data for the sector and the currently loaded part of the basis data set. The iteration for the loading basis data set proceeds through the entire data set until the convolution operation is completed.

    摘要: Roughly described, a method for mask data preparation is described, for use with a preliminary mask layout that includes a starting polygon, the vertices of the starting polygon including I-points (vertices of the starting polygon having an interior angle greater than 90 degrees), including steps of developing a rectilinear partition tree on at least the I-points of the starting polygon, and using the edges of the partition tree to define the partition of the starting polygon into sub-polygons for mask writing.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that reduces random yield loss. During operation, the system can receive a design layout. The system may also receive weighting factors that are associated with the particle densities in the metal regions and the empty regions. Next, the system can determine local critical-area-ratios and optimization potentials for a set of wire-segments. The system can then select a wire segment, and compare its local critical-area-ratio with a global critical-area-ratio. Next, the system can use the result of the comparison to determine a layout optimization. The system can then apply the layout optimization to the wire segment to obtain an improved layout.
