  • Publication number: 20240108846
    Abstract: A humidification system for delivering humidified gases to a user can include a heater base, humidification chamber having an inlet, outlet, and associated fluid conduit, and breathing circuit including a supply conduit, inspiratory conduit, and optional expiratory conduit. The humidification system can include various features to help make set-up less difficult and time-consuming. For example, the supply conduit, inspiratory conduit, and optional expiratory conduit can be coupled into a one-piece circuit to aid set-up. Various components can be color-coded and can have corresponding structures to indicate which components should be connected to one another during set-up. Such features can also help make the set-up process more intuitive for an operator, which can reduce the need for specialized training and reduce the number of potential errors.

  • Patent number: 11640490
    Abstract: A method of generating a mask used in fabrication of a semiconductor device includes, in part, selecting a source candidate, generating a process simulation model that includes a defect rate in response to the selected source candidate, performing a first optical proximity correction (OPC) on the data associated with the mask in response to the process simulation model, assessing one or more lithographic evaluation metrics in response to the OPC mask data, computing a cost in response to the assessed one or more lithographic evaluation metrics, and determining whether the computed cost satisfies a threshold condition. In response to the determination that the computed cost does not satisfy the threshold condition, a different source candidate may be selected.

  • Publication number: 20220382144
    Abstract: Initial source shapes for source mask optimization are determined based on a layout of the lithographic mask. In one approach, a layout of a lithographic mask is received. Different sections of the lithographic mask, referred to as clips, are selected. These clips are applied to a machine learning model which infers source shapes from the clips. The inferred source shapes are used as the initial source shapes for source mask optimization.
