The method for forming the photo masks includes determining a minimum spacing and identifying vertical conductive feature patterns having a spacing less than the minimum spacing value. The method further includes determining a first direction to expand and a second direction to shrink, and checking against design rules to see if the design rules are violated for each of the vertical conductive feature patterns identified. If designed rules are not violated, the identified vertical conductive feature pattern is replaced with a revised vertical conductive feature pattern having a rectangular shape. The photo masks are then formed. The semiconductor structure can be formed using the photo masks.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for assisting a user of a portable computing device with a touch screen display in formulating a search engine search query. The techniques may assist the user in a more efficient funnel querying approach when compared to conventional funnel querying approaches. In particular, with the techniques, the user can add one or more additional keywords to an initial search query without having to enter the individual letters of the additional keywords. As a result, the techniques enable the user to find relevant search results with less tedium and frustration compared to conventional funnel querying approaches, thereby increasing user satisfaction with the search engine.
