Abstract: A computer-implemented method for constructing a design characterized by a double patterning layer is presented. The method includes receiving the design in a memory of the computer when the computer is invoked to construct the design. The method further includes generating, using the computer, a multitude of fill shapes along a multitude of tracks associated with a multitude of net shapes. The multitude of fill shapes and the multitude of net shapes are decomposable into two colors in accordance with a spacing constraint of the double patterning layer.

Abstract: A side-emitting LED lens includes a bottom surface having an incident surface through which light from the LED enters, a top surface that reflects light, and a side surface which connects the bottom surface to the top surface, and through which light exits the lens. Within the incident surface, a central area directs light emitted from the LED to the top surface by refracting the light in a direction away from the optical axis, whereby the height of the lens can be reduced. A surrounding area connected to the central area directs light emitted from the LED to the top surface by refracting the light in a direction toward the optical axis, whereby the width or radius of the lens can be reduced.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for determining an electrical property for an interconnect layer. During operation, the system receives interconnect technology data which includes nominal parameter values for a first interconnect layer, and parameter-variation values which represent variations in the nominal parameter values due to random process variations. Next, the system receives an interconnect template which describes the geometry of a portion of a second interconnect layer. The system then determines electrical property data for the interconnect template using the interconnect technology data. The electrical property data can include a nominal electrical property value, and sensitivity values which represent the sensitivities of the nominal electrical property value to variations in the nominal parameter values. Next, the system stores the electrical property data and the interconnect technology data in a storage.
