Abstract: A computer program is provided for developing a bend model of a part to be produced at an intelligent production facility. In accordance with an aspect of the disclosed program, faces of the part are detected based on initial part information, and bendlines of the part are identified based on the detected faces of the part. Further, additional part information is generated by performing a predetermined operation (e.g., a folding operation or an unfolding operation) on the detected faces of the part. The disclosed program also includes other capabilities, such as the capability to perform clean-up operations on initial, 2-D part information and to selectively eliminate part thickness representations in order to facilitate the preparation of a 3-D representation of the part from the modified 2-D part information.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for the removal of a resist layer formed on a semiconductor substrate, which enables easy removal of a resist layer without causing any damage on a gate oxide layer, and an apparatus therefor. The process comprises the steps of forming a gate oxide layer on the semiconductor substrate; forming a resist layer as a resist pattern on the gate oxide layer; removing the gate oxide layer at unnecessary area utilizing the resist layer as a mask; applying a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet to the semiconductor substrate such that the gate oxide layer left on the semiconductor substrate and the resist layer are masked, and peeling the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet together with the resist layer off the semiconductor substrate to separate and remove the resist layer from the semiconductor substrate.
