Patent number: 12277377Abstract: 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 tile are scheduled before tiles that have a shorter estimated processing time, thereby potentially resulting in more efficient OPC processing.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2019Date of Patent: April 15, 2025Assignee: Siemens Industry Software Inc.Inventors: Soohong Austin Kim, Hien T.

Patent number: 12254247Abstract: An inspection result analysis device includes a processor. The processor factorizes each first distribution of a first distribution group into a second distribution group and a weight group corresponding to the second distribution group by non-negative matrix factorization of the first distribution group. Each first distribution is a distribution of numerical data on a surface of a substrate, the numerical data resulting from an inspection of the substrate. The processor generates a fourth distribution by multiplying a third distribution by a weight corresponding to the third distribution to acquire a representative value of a numerical data group constituting the fourth distribution.

Patent number: 12244156Abstract: A system for ensuring the integrity of the enclosure of a wireless power transmitter. The enclosure of the transmitter comprises a window in order to allow a high-power beam to exit the transmitter. The window is equipped with an area which reflects at least a portion of the beam, and directs the reflected beam onto a detector. Thus the system can ascertain whether the window is undamaged, since if the detector is receiving a satisfactory portion of the beam, then it is indicative of an undamaged window. This advantageously prevents dangerous beam generated damage which may be caused if the exit window of the transmitter is damaged. The laser beam is preferably circularly polarized before exiting the transmitter to prevent dangerous laser damage caused by the reflections of the maximum of the P or S polarization components, which may occur with linearly polarized beams.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2020Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: Wi-Charge Ltd.Inventors: Ortal Alpert, Yoav Biderman, Ori Mor, Omer Nahmias, Lior Golan, Ran Sagi, Zohar Levin, Alexander Slepoy, Yan Rosh, Eyal Conforti
