Computational Lithography
Xu Ma
Gonzalo R. Arce
Optical lithography is one of the
most challenging areas of current integrated circuit manu- facturing
technology. The semiconductor industry is relying more on resolution
enhancement techniques (reTs), since their implementation does not
require significant changes in fabrication infrastructure.
Computational Lithography is the first book to address the
computational optimization of reTs in optical lithography, providing an
in-depth discussion of optimal optical proximity correction (OPc),
phase shifting mask (PSM), and off-axis illumination (OaI) reT tools
that use model-based mathematical optimization approaches.The
accompanying MaTLaB® software files for all the reT methods described
in the book make it easy for readers to run and investigate the codes
in order to understand and apply the optimization algorithms, as well
as to design a set of optimal lithography masks. Tailored for both
entry level and experienced readers, computational Lithography is meant
for faculty, graduate students, and researchers, as well as scientists
and engineers in industrial orga- nizations whose research or career
field is semiconductor Ic fabrication, optical lithography, and reTs.
Computational Lithography draws from the rich theory of inverse
problems, optics, optimization, and computational imaging; as such the
book is also directed to researchers and practitioners in these fields.

Modern Digital Halftoning, Second Edition
Daniel L. Lau
Gonzalo R. Arce
The late 1980s, revolutionary
advances in digital halftoning enabled inkjet printers to achieve much
higher image fidelity. The rapid rate of progress has resulted in
numerous breakthroughs scattered throughout the literature, rendering
old technologies obsolete and renewing the need for a centralized
source on the current state of the art. Enterely revised and updated,
Modern Digital Halfotning, Second Edition provides an integrated and
up-to-date treatament of stochastic halftoning and digital printing.
Using full-color illustrations to enchance the text, this edition
incorporates new tocpics as well as updated models, algorithms, and
multitone images. It also presents a new chapter on lenticular
printing, a means for printing colo holographic images. An accompanying
CD-ROM contains MATALB® software files and illustrated examples
employing algorithms, statistics, and other key concepts from the book.

Nonlinear Signal Processing: A Statistical Approach
Gonzalo R. Arce
Nonlinear Signal Processing: A
Statistical Approach focuses on unifying the study of a broad and
important class of nonlinear signal processing algorithms which emerge
from statistical estimation principles, and where the underlying
signals are non-Gaussian, rather than Gaussian, processes. Notably, by
concentrating on just two non-Gaussian models, a large set of tools is
developed that encompass a large portion of the nonlinear signal
processing tools proposed in the literature over the past several
decades.
Key features include:
- Numerous problems at the end of each chapter to aid development and understanding
- Examples and case studies provided throughout the book in a wide range of applications bring the text to life and place the theory into context
- A set of 60+ MATLAB software m-files allowing the reader to quickly design and apply any of the nonlinear signal processing algorithms descri-bed in the book to an application of interest is available on the accom-panying FTP site.

Nonlinear
Signal and Image Processing:
Theory, Methods, and Applications
Kenneth E. Barner
Gonzalo R. Arce
Nonlinear signal and image processing
methods are fast emerging as an alternative to established linear
methods for meeting the challenges of increasingly sophisticated
applications. This book details recent advances in nonlinear theory,
techniques, and an array of modern applications. Its chapters, all
contributed by well-known theorists and researchers, explore current
and emerging nonlinear methods from their theoretical background and
practical algorithms through the application of nonlinear methods to
contemporary problems in areas such as communications and networking,
imaging, biomedicine, and genomics. The text includes a wealth of
illustrative examples and instructive results.

Modern Digital Halftoning
Daniel L. Lau
Gonzalo R. Arce
A comprehensive treatment of various
approaches to monochrome and digital halftoning. It describes ideal
spatial and spectral characteristics of green- and blue-noise
halftoning that provide patterns of visual appeal and computational
complexity in a wide range of printing technologies. The book comes
with a CD-ROM of algorithms and statistics with colour examples.
