Abstract: Pattern centric process control is disclosed. A layout of a semiconductor chip is decomposed into a plurality of intended circuit layout patterns. For the plurality of intended circuit layout patterns, a corresponding plurality of sets of fabrication risk assessments corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of sources is determined. Determining a set of fabrication risk assessments for an intended circuit layout pattern comprises determining fabrication risk assessments based at least in part on: simulation of the intended circuit layout pattern, statistical analysis of the intended circuit layout pattern, and evaluation of empirical data associated with a printed circuit layout pattern. A scoring formula is applied based at least in part on the sets of fabrication risk assessments to obtain a plurality of overall fabrication risk assessments for respective ones of the plurality of intended circuit layout patterns.

Abstract: A method and system for analyzing and detecting a human tension based conflict between one or more parties using electronic communication data generated during communication between those parties. The method includes receiving electronic communication data, analyzing the electronic communication data by applying a predetermined method and generating conflict analysis score, the conflict analysis score providing a trigger or a seed for the conflict form the analyzed electronic communication data. In one or more embodiments, electronic communication data may be one or more of electronic-mail data, web content data, text message data, voice data, video content data, social media data.

Abstract: Tracking patterns during a semiconductor fabrication process includes: obtaining an image of a portion of a fabricated device; extracting contours of the portion of the fabricated device from the obtained image; aligning the extracted contour to a matching section of a reference design; decomposing the matching section of the reference design into one or more patterns; and updating a pattern tracking database with information pertaining to at least one pattern in the one or more patterns generated as a result of the decomposition.
