Abstract: A liquid-filled balloon may be positioned between a workpiece, such as a semiconductor structure covered with a photoresist, and a lithography light source. The balloon includes a thin membrane that exhibits good optical and physical properties. Liquid contained in the balloon also exhibits good optical properties, including a refractive index higher than that of air. Light from the lithography light source passes through a mask, through a top layer of the balloon membrane, through the contained liquid, through a bottom layer of the balloon membrane, and onto the workpiece where it alters portions of the photoresist. As the liquid has a low absorption and a higher refractive index than air, the liquid-filled balloon system enhances resolution. Thus, the balloon provides optical benefits of liquid immersion without the complications of maintaining a liquid between (and in contact with) a lithographic light source mechanism and workpiece.

Abstract: A computer system for the indexing of data in which a heuristic determination function is applied to predict an efficient index updating approach. The system is able to update an index relating to a first data set by incrementally updating the index or by a rebuild of the index at the completion of the addition of a second set of data to the first set of data. The system applies a heuristic determination function to the characteristics of the first set of data, its index, and the second set of data, to predict whether an incremental update or a rebuild update of the index will result in a more efficient rebuild of the data. The system applies this approach to a restore and rollforward recovery or a data load operation to improve the efficiency of these operations.

Abstract: A mechanism is described for transient versioning in architectures that manage node ranges, wherein each node is assigned a node ID value and a set of nodes form a range of node IDs called a node range. Each entry in the index describes one range and points to where the range is located. Individual nodes are located by finding the correct range in the index. When nodes are added to or deleted from a node range, the range of nodes are versioned by copying the nodes before changes, to transient storage, and then the original nodes are modified. Different versions are tracked by assigning timestamps to each copy of the node range. Each entry in the node ID range index points to the location of the nodes in a range called the range identifier or RID. Before changes are made in a range, the nodes in a range are copied to a Version Hash Table based on the RID. Copies of the range including the current one is assigned a timestamp or LSN.
