Latest Patents

Jung is named on 1 patent, titled “Methods for Optical Proximity Correction and Methods of Manufacturing Semiconductor Devices Having the Same.” The invention describes processing curved layout data by converting it into Manhattanized data, fragmenting that data into components, and using the components to generate and simulate an optical proximity correction model. It also calculates an overlap score between the model’s contour and an adjacent layer, then incorporates that score into the model to help produce design data with positioning optimized in consideration of the neighboring layer.

Career Highlights

Jung’s patent addresses a key challenge in semiconductor fabrication: accurately positioning a target layer while accounting for nearby layers. The described approach combines layout-data processing, model simulation, and overlap analysis to inform the design data used to form the target layer.
