It’s no secret that a successful yield ramp directly impacts integrated circuit (IC) product cost and time-to-market. Tools and techniques that help companies ramp to volume faster, while also ...

Pattern matching (PM) was first introduced as the semiconductor industry began to shift from simple one-dimensional rule checks to the two-dimensional checks required by sub-resolution lithography.

Pattern matching is best known for its use in detecting lithographic hotspots, but it’s also widely used across all physical verification flows, and has expanded into design-for-manufacturing (DFM) ...

An algorithm, which determines the range of a preceding vehicle by a single image, had been proposed. It uses a "Range-Window Algorithm". Here in order to realize higher robustness and stability, the ...

This paper describes an exact algorithm for the fixed charge transportation problem based on a new integer programming formulation that involves two sets of variables representing flow patterns from ...

Market design and stable matching theory form the cornerstone of modern economic mechanism design, addressing the fundamental challenge of allocating scarce resources amid complex and often ...
