Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate to techniques of layout decomposition for triple patterning lithography. Data of a coloring graph are derived from layout data for a layout design. The coloring graph is simplified through graph reduction and graph partitioning processes. The graph partitioning process comprises separating biconnected components. The graph partitioning process may further comprise separating subgraphs connected by one or two edges. Based on the simplified coloring graph, the layout design is decomposed to generate decomposition information. The decomposition process may comprise applying a heuristic method for coloring if needed. The decomposition information may comprise information of one or more layout regions that cannot be decomposed.

Abstract: Graph structures are obtained corresponding to geometric elements in the lowest hierarchical level of cells in a design of hierarchical layout data. Each graph structure then is analyzed for conflicts that would preclude an error-free partitioning of the represented geometric elements into two complementary sets. If there are no conflicts, then relevant portions of each graph structure are promoted into the corresponding parent cells of the next highest hierarchical level of the hierarchical layout design. This process of obtaining graph structures for cells of a hierarchical level, checking the graph structures to determine if they have conflicts, and promoting relevant portions of the graph structures to the graph structures for the next hierarchical level is iteratively repeated for each level in the hierarchical layout design, until a conflict is detected or until it is determined that no conflicts exist for the graph structure corresponding to the highest level cell.

Abstract: Layout design data is analyzed to identify both potential geometric element cuts in the design and instances of an application of a separation directive. Each of the identified separation directive instances and the identified cuts are assigned an analysis value, such as a weight value. The separation directive instances and the identified cuts then are ordered in a single list according to their analysis values. Each item on the list is then analyzed, to determine if the item can be implemented in the layout design data without creating a conflict in complementary pattern sets for using in a double-patterning lithographic technique. If a list item (either separation directive instance or identified cut) cannot be implemented without creating a conflict in one of the complementary patterns, then it is discarded from the list. After each of the list items has been analyzed, the remaining items are implemented in the design layout data.

Abstract: A method of controlling blister formation in a glass melt flowing through a system comprising one or more refractory metal vessels by developing a blister index and determining the critical blister index value. The critical value of the blister index may be used to control the principal variables responsible for blister formation, including the water content of the melt, the concentration of reduced multivalent oxide compounds in the melt, and the hydrogen partial pressure of an atmosphere in contact with the outside surface of the refractory metal vessel. Also disclosed is a minimum partial pressure of hydrogen necessary to produce an essentially blister-free glass article in a glass essentially free of arsenic and antimony.
