Abstract: A method of decomposing a layout of a semiconductor device for a quadruple patterning technology (QPT) process includes dividing the layout of the semiconductor device into a first temporary pattern, which includes rectangular features having a rectangular shape, and a second temporary pattern, which includes cross couple features having a Z-shape, generating a third temporary pattern and a fourth temporary pattern by performing a pattern dividing operation on the first temporary pattern in a first direction, generating a first target pattern and a second target pattern by incorporating each of the cross couple features included in the second temporary pattern into one of the third temporary pattern and the fourth temporary pattern, and generating first through fourth decomposed patterns by performing the pattern dividing operation on the first target pattern and the second target pattern in a second direction.

Abstract: A test system includes row decoder, column decoder, row test controller, and test circuit. The row decoder activates one of first through M-th row signals based on plurality of row input signals. The column decoder activates one of first through N-th column signals based on plurality of column input signals. The row test controller outputs first through N-th column output signals, which are activated, when row test enable signal is activated. The row test controller outputs the first through N-th column signals as the first through N-th column output signals respectively when the row test enable signal is deactivated. The test circuit includes first through M-th row test blocks, each of which includes first through N-th test units. The test circuit simultaneously performs short test of the first through N-th test units included in row test block when the row test enable signal is activated.

Abstract: A layout design method may include receiving predetermined values related to first to third normal fin designs extending in a first direction and arranged in parallel in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, generating dummy fin designs based on the predetermined values, generating mandrel candidate designs based on the first to third normal fin designs and the dummy fin designs, decomposing the mandrel candidate designs to first and second mandrel mask designs, and generating a final mandrel mask design using one of the first and second mandrel mask designs that satisfies a predetermined condition. A first interval distance in the second direction between the first normal fin design and the second normal fin design may be different from a second interval distance in the second direction between the second normal fin design and the third normal fin design.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a transgenic pig in which immune rejection response is inhibited, and in which human HO-1 genes and TNFR1-Fe fusion genes are simultaneously expressed. The present invention also relates to a transgenic pig for organ transplantation, which is produced by the method, and in which immune rejection response is inhibited. The present invention also relates to a somatic-cell-donating cell strain for producing the transgenic pig, and to a method for producing organs, from the transgenic pig, in which the immune rejection response is inhibited.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a transgenic pig that expresses sTNFR1-Fc, wherein a gene encoding sTNFR1-Fc, which is a fusion protein of the extracellular domain of human soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor (sTNFR1) and an immunoglobulin Fc region, is introduced; a method for preparing the same; an organ isolated from the transgenic pig; a somatic donor cell line inserted with sTNFR1-Fc gene; a method for preparing a blood sample comprising sTNFR1-Fc; and a method for preparing human sTNFR1-Fc from the blood sample of the transgenic pig. As the transgenic pig can suppress immune response and inflammatory response by secreting an inhibitory substance that suppresses the activity of TNF-? in blood, it can be effectively used for xenograft. Furthermore, since the transgenic pig has a blood type O, it can be transplanted for suppressing inflammatory response, regardless of a blood type of recipient.
