Abstract: A method for concurrent migration and decomposition of an integrated circuit layout applicable to double patterning lithography techniques is provided. The method includes cutting a sub-pattern of an initial pattern to configure a potentially conflicting pattern having separate or cutting sections; removing odd cycles in the potential conflicting pattern so as to cut the separate or cutting sections; configuring the double patterning constraint based upon corresponding location relations between each and adjacent cut sections; and assigning a first color layer or a second color layer to the cut sections according to the double patterning constraint to obtain a final layout pattern. Therefore, disadvantageous factors and patterning conflicts caused by separate processes as encountered in the prior art are avoided.

Abstract: An expandable wireless transceiver is provided. The expandable wireless transceiver includes an antenna, a receiver, a transmitter and a switch connector. The antenna detects an electromagnetic signal in surrounding space and receives a signal with a first central frequency according to the detection result. The receiver receives the signal based on the detection result of the antenna. The transmitter outputs a radio-frequency signal. A third connection terminal of the switch connector provides a connective path to an expansion antenna.
