Natural Motifs and Curvilinear Shapes. Though color is integral to the Art Nouveau design movement, shape and form really are the most iconic characteristic of the movement.

It’s important to remember that curvilinear shapes are actually simpler from a manufacturing perspective. Manhattan shapes with 90-degree corners are impossible to replicate exactly in the real world.

The move to curvilinear shapes on photomasks is gaining steam after years of promise as a way of improving yield, lowering defectivity, and reducing wasted space on a die — all of which are essential ...

Article Title. Make the impossible possible: use variable-shaped beam mask writers and curvilinear full-chip inverse lithography technology for 193i contacts/vias with mask-wafer co-optimization ...

The next generation of electronic devices, shape-reconfigurable electronics, show great promise beyond flexible electronics, which can be deformed into 3D curvilinear shapes by passive mechanical ...

Three key findings emerged from their work: (1) both the mask writer and the wafer scanner are low-pass filters; (2) overlapping shots influenced by mask/wafer simulation can create curvilinear shapes ...
