Abstract: A non-transitory, computer readable storage medium is encoded with computer program instructions, such that, when the computer program instructions are executed by a computer, the computer performs a method. The method generates mask assignment information for forming a plurality of patterns on a layer of an integrated circuit (IC) by multipatterning. The mask assignment information includes, for each of the plurality of patterns, a mask assignment identifying which of a plurality of masks is to be used to form that pattern, and a mask assignment lock state for that pattern. User inputs setting the mask assignment of at least one of the plurality of patterns, and its mask assignment lock state are received. A new mask assignment is generated for each of the plurality of patterns having an “unlocked” mask assignment lock state.

Abstract: A liquid crystal lens and a liquid crystal display device. The liquid crystal lens includes a first substrate, a second substrate deposed oppositely, and a liquid crystal layer. A metal layer, an insulation layer, and an electrode layer are stacked on the second substrate adjacent to the first substrate. The electrode layer includes multiple electrodes disposed separately. Wherein, among the multiple electrodes disposed separately, a height of the electrode which a maximum voltage is applied on is lower than a height of an adjacent electrode. By the above way, the actual equivalent refractive index neff of the liquid crystal molecules corresponding to the electrode which the maximum voltage is applied on is close to an equivalent refractive index in an ideal condition. As a result, the three-dimensional (3D) crosstalk can be reduced and the 3D display effect can be improved.

Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for modeling a discrete device as a macro device. That is, the discrete device can comprise one or more parasitic elements, such as parasitic resistances and/or capacitances. Because values of the parasitic elements are unknown during pre-simulation of the discrete device, the discrete device can be modeled as a macro device, which can be used during pre-simulation to take into account the parasitic elements. For example, specified parameters, such as channel length, can be used to obtain a set of RC values that specify predicted values for the one or more parasitic elements of the discrete device. The discrete device can be modeled as the macro device using the set of RC values. In this way, the macro device can be used during pre-simulation to take into account the parasitic effects of parasitic elements of the discrete device.
