  • Publication number: 20240068965
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for serial femtosecond crystallography for reducing the vast amount of waste of injected crystals practiced with traditional continuous flow injections. A micrometer-scale 3-D printed water-in-oil droplet generator device includes an oil phase inlet channel, an aqueous phase inlet channel, a droplet flow outlet channel, and two embedded non-contact electrodes. The inlet and outlet channels are connected internally at a junction. The electrodes comprise gallium metal injected within the 3-D printed device. Voltage across the electrodes generates water-in-oil droplets, determines a rate for a series of droplets, or triggers a phase shift in the droplets. An external trigger generates the droplets based on the frequency of an XFEL utilized in droplet detection, thereby synchronizing a series of droplets with x-ray pulses for efficient crystal detection. The generated droplets can be coupled to an SFX with XFEL experiment compatible with common liquid injector such as a GDVN.

  • Publication number: 20220292249
    Abstract: A system and method for scheduling optical proximity correction (OPC) or other resolution enhancement technique (RET) operations on a layout design is disclosed. A layout design is divided into a plurality of regions, such as a plurality of tiles. OPC is performed on the plurality of tiles in order to generate a modified layout design. Performing OPC on the plurality of tiles may be time consuming. In order to more efficiently distribute the processing of OPC, estimates of OPC processing times for the plurality of tiles is performed. The estimate of the OPC processing time for a respective tile may be based on one or both of analysis of: analysis of the respective tile; or analysis of tile(s) that neighbor the respective tile. Based on the estimates, tiles that have a longer estimated processing fore tiles that have a shorter estimated processing time, thereby potentially resulting in more efficient OPC processing.
