A system is disclosed having at least one computing device configured to send a computer file across a network by segmenting the computer file into identifiable segments and sending the segments in parallel across the network. The segmenting can be initiated while the computer file is generated. In another embodiment, a computer program product is disclosed having program code stored on a computer-readable storage medium, which when executed by at least one computing device, causes the computing device to transfer a computer file across a computer network by segmenting the computer file into identifiable segments and sending the segments in parallel across the network. The segmenting can be initiated while the computer file is generated. In another embodiment, a method of transferring a computer file across a network is disclosed, the method including segmenting the computer file into identifiable segments and sending the segments in parallel across the network.

Secure hyper transfer of large files

A method of automated generation of oxide pillar (PX) slot shapes of a PX layer within silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structures that includes generating a placement grid on recess oxide (RX) shapes, creating PX placement markers on the placement grid along a perimeter of the RX shapes, filtering the PX placement markers, generating a PX slot shape corresponding to each filtered PX placement marker on the RX shapes, correcting location errors associated with the generated PX slot shapes, generating PX slot shapes on RX shapes of a predetermined size for which PX slot shapes were not generated, performing a verification operation of the PX slot shapes, and outputting the PX layer including the verified PX slot shapes.

Automated generation of oxide pillar slot shapes in silicon-on-insulator formation technology

A method of forming a mask. The method includes providing design information of a design layer. The design layer includes M original design features and N original dummy features. The method further includes (i) creating a cluster of P representative dummy features, P being a positive integer less than N, (ii) performing OPC for the cluster of the P representative dummy features but not for the N original dummy features, resulting in P OPC-applied representative dummy features, and (iii) forming the mask including N mask dummy features. The N mask dummy features are identical. Each mask dummy feature of the N mask dummy features of the mask has an area which is a function of at least an area of an OPC-applied representative dummy feature of the P OPC-applied representative dummy features. The N mask dummy features have the same relative positions as the N original dummy features.

Formation of masks/reticles having dummy features

Structures and methods for forming the same. The method includes providing design information of a design layer. The design layer includes M original design features and N original dummy features. The method further includes (i) creating a cluster of P representative dummy features, P being a positive integer less than N, (ii) performing OPC for the cluster of the P representative dummy features but not for the N original dummy features, resulting in P OPC-applied representative dummy features, and (iii) forming the mask including N mask dummy features. The N mask dummy features are identical. Each mask dummy feature of the N mask dummy features of the mask has an area which is a function of at least an area of an OPC-applied representative dummy feature of the P OPC-applied representative dummy features. The N mask dummy features have the same relative positions as the N original dummy features.
