  • Publication number: 20100229139
    Abstract: An extraction unit extracts a metal pattern constituting a semiconductor integrated circuit from layout data. A setting unit sets up a region including the metal pattern extracted by the extraction unit. An evaluation unit calculates the metal coverage rate of the region and to evaluate whether the metal coverage rate is equal to or more than a predetermined value. An insertion unit inserts a dummy metal pattern into the region when the metal coverage rate is evaluated as a value smaller than the predetermined value by the evaluation unit.

  • Publication number: 20070049178
    Abstract: In a fluid polishing method for processing a fine aperture by slurry 7, the slurry is supplied from a cylinder 2a in a slurry flow rate target process until the flow rate increases to a target value of a slurry feed flow rate. When the flow rate reaches the target flow-rate, the cylinder is stopped and switched to another cylinder 2b and the operation fluid flow rate of the fine aperture is thereafter measured. In a metering process, to be executed next, a necessary processing time is calculated on the basis of the operation fluid flow rate and polishing is carried out for a necessary processing time by another cylinder 2b. Another cylinder is then stopped and switched and the operation fluid flow rate is measured. In this way, the metering process is repeated until the operation fluid flow rate reaches a predetermined value. In each process, the supply of the slurry is not interrupted.

  • Patent number: 6203325
    Abstract: A dental magnetic attachment having good cushioning properties against a compressing pressure which makes a denture sink appropriately on biting. The dental magnetic attachment embedded in the denture base for holding the denture in the oral cavity by a magnetic attractive force working with the magnetic assembly and a soft magnetic keeper embedded in the top of the root surface includes a magnetic assembly and a cap covering the top of the magnetic assembly. The magnetic assembly has a hollow in the center of its top. The cap with a button is placed on the magnetic assembly, inserting the button into the hollow to contact to its bottom. On biting, the button is compressed, to be deformed with a shorter thickness and at this time a sleeve formed as a body around the core slides down along the side of the magnetic assembly to reduce the thickness of the dental magnetic attachment. This sliding makes the denture sink uniformly and appropriately.
