  • Patent number: 11531884
    Abstract: A separate quantization method of forming a combination of 4-bit and 8-bit data of a neural network is disclosed. When a training data set and a validation data set exist, a calibration manner is used to determine a threshold for activations of each of a plurality of layers of a neural network model, so as to determine how many of the activations to perform 8-bit quantization. In a process of weight quantization, the weights of each layer are allocated to 4-bit weights and 8-bit weights according to a predetermined ratio, so as to make the neural network model have a reduced size and a combination of 4-bit and 8-bit weights.

  • Patent number: 11526081
    Abstract: An electron beam lithography system and an electron beam lithography process are disclosed herein for improving throughput. An exemplary method for increasing throughput achieved by an electron beam lithography system includes receiving an integrated circuit (IC) design layout that includes a target pattern, wherein the electron beam lithography system implements a first exposure dose to form the target pattern on a workpiece based on the IC design layout. The method further includes inserting a dummy pattern into the IC design layout to increase a pattern density of the IC design layout to greater than or equal to a threshold pattern density, thereby generating a modified IC design layout. The electron beam lithography system implements a second exposure dose that is less than the first exposure dose to form the target pattern on the workpiece based on the modified IC design layout.
