To most sensible physical design folks, the mysteries of operating and tuning lithography systems are just that: mysteries. You put in a set of patterns on the masks, and you get out a set of patterns ...
A new startup has emerged and unveiled a technology that addresses one of the bigger but less understood problems in advanced lithography–pattern roughness. The startup, called Fractilia, is a ...
As design nodes drop below 45nm, design rules are exploding in number and complexity, making design rule checking (DRC) harder and lengthier. What we have observed across the industry is that the ...
