Abstract: A semiconductor process recording apparatus comprises a buffer circuit and a endpoint recording device. The input terminal of the buffer circuit is connected to an external endpoint apparatus for receiving a first signal output from the endpoint apparatus. The output terminal of the buffer circuit is connected to the endpoint recording device for outputting a second signal representative of the first signal in response to the first signal. When receiving the second signal, the endpoint recording device outputs a feedback signal to the buffer circuit on the basis of the second signal. Because the feedback signal is blocked by the buffer circuit, the external endpoint apparatus is protected from the damage caused by the feedback signal, thereby greatly reducing the production cost and rate of semiconductor manufacturing.

Abstract: A genetic algorithm (GA) based approach to optimize integrated circuit designs for power dissipation. The genetic algorithm optimization process efficiently generates tight lower bounds of the peak power dissipation for a given integrated circuit design. In this approach, the power within a given integrated circuit design circuit is viewed as a function in terms of a set of stimuli to primary inputs of the integrated circuit design. Maximization of the function, and hence, the power dissipation is guided by the genetic algorithm. By repeatedly stimulating the integrated circuit design and measuring the corresponding response, the genetic algorithm process efficiently explores the solution space to obtain a maximization of the function. The genetic algorithm process is implemented within a computer-based EDA (electronic design automation) synthesis system.

Abstract: The present invention improves the contrast of the image signal before further adjustment by the principle of superposition of the optical-transferring system. There are two ways to carry out the principle of superposition one is in space domain, the other is in frequency domain.

To implement the compensation in space domain, the present invention utilize the result of scanning the correction board to compensate the optical energy scattered by the optical-transferring system. A pixel in object space can be expressed in terms of the linear combination of the corresponding pixels in image space according to the principle of superposition. Thus is obtained by extracting the coefficients of the linear combination. The pixels of desired picture in image space is multiplied by the compensation vector and the image with sharp contrast is produced by the present invention in space domain.
