摘要:
A system comprises an electronic design automation (EDA) tool, for generating a schematic design of an integrated circuit (IC), generating a layout from the schematic design, editing the layout, and verifying the schematic design and layout. At least one non-transitory, computer readable storage medium, is provided for storing data representing the schematic design and the layout, the layout having a network of routing paths connecting at least two active layer devices of the IC design. An RC tool is provided for computing estimated parasitic capacitances of the routing paths of the network before verifying the schematic design and layout, and for inserting a capacitor corresponding to the estimated parasitic capacitance into the data representing the schematic design of the IC. A first device level simulation tool for simulating performance of the network based on the at least two active layer devices and the estimated parasitic capacitances.

A method comprises: accessing data representing a layout of a layer of an integrated circuit (IC) comprising a plurality of polygons defining circuit patterns to be divided among a number (N) of photomasks for multi-patterning a single layer of a semiconductor substrate, where N is greater than one. For each set of N parallel polygons in the layout closer to each other than a minimum separation for patterning with a single photomask, at least N−1 stitches are inserted in each polygon within that set to divide each polygon into at least N parts, such that adjacent parts of different polygons are assigned to different photomasks from each other. Data representing assignment of each of the parts in each set to respective photomasks are stored in a non-transitory, computer readable storage medium that is accessible for use in a process to fabricate the N photomasks.

A method of judging a type of a disc includes recording a first value of a SBAD signal generated by an optical pickup when a DVD laser beam is emitted to the disc, and judging whether the disc is DVD or CD according to the first value. If the disc is CD, the method further includes judging whether the disc has a read-only type or a non-read-only type according to the first value, recording a second value of the SBAD signal when a CD laser beam is emitted, calculating an absolute value of a difference between the first and second values, judging whether the disc is CD-R or CD-ROM according to the absolute value if the disc has the read-only type, and judging whether the disc is CD-RW or otherwise judging whether the disc is CD-R or CD-ROM according to the second value if the disc has the non-read-only type.
摘要:
A method for determining the writing power of data recording devices. First, the inner circle and outer circle of recording media are processed with optimum power calibration (OPC) to obtain an inner circle optimum writing power and an outer circle optimum writing power respectively. The writing power is determined according to the inner circle optimum writing power, outer circle optimum writing power, and/or the time of write speed is raised from the minimum write speed to the maximum write speed of the data recording device.

A method for adjusting the write speed of a data recording device and apparatus thereof. First, the recording media is written to at a write speed, during which the number of buffer underrun events is counted. Then, the write speed is adjusted according to the number of buffer underrun events until writing is finished.
