A method of designing an integrated circuit is provided in which the design layout is optimized using a process model until the design constraints are satisfied by the image contours simulated by the process model. The process model used in the design phase need not be as accurate as the lithographic model used in preparing the lithographic mask layout during data prep. The resulting image contours are then included with the modified, optimized design layout to the data prep process, in which the mask layout is optimized using the lithographic process model, for example, including RET and OPC. The mask layout optimization matches the images simulated by the lithographic process model with the image contours generated during the design phase, which ensures that the design and manufacturability constraints specified by the designer are satisfied by the optimized mask layout.

A communication navigation system, wherein a navigation apparatus requests a recommended route guidance data to a information center and guides a user of the navigation apparatus to a destination by using the recommended route guidance data received from the information center.In this present invention, the navigation apparatus transmits version data of road data held in the navigation apparatus at the request to the information center. The information center prepares a guidance data of recommended route using latest road data held in the information center, and transmits the data to the navigation apparatus. When the information center transmits the guidance data, the information center selects the type of data of the road links along the recommended route, in the guidance data, by comparing the version data received from the navigation apparatus and the version data of each road link along the recommended route. If each data of road links along the recommended route is considered to be contained in the road data held in the navigation apparatus, the information center transmits the only data which enable to specify the road link from the road data held in the navigation apparatus.

The present invention is devised so that snapshot data preparation processing does not end abnormally as a result of the pool region becoming full with saved data from the primary logical volume during snapshot data preparation. When the CHA receives a snapshot data preparation request, the CHA checks whether or not update information is present in the logical volume that is the object of this data preparation. If such information is present (YES in S51), a check is made from the number of slots in the in the volume control information and the updating amount count value in the update information in order to ascertain whether or not the proportion of the updating amount relative to the number of slots is equal to or greater than the threshold value in the threshold value control information (S52). If this proportion is equal to or greater than the threshold value (YES in S52), the update information is initialized (S53), and physical snapshot control is started (S54). If such is not the case (NO in S52), the update information is initialized (S55), and logical snapshot control is started (S56).

A pattern inspection method capable of providing an improved inspection reliability includes the following steps. A pattern classification is set every pixel-value range of a reference-image data obtained from a reference pattern. Each of the pattern classifications has reference-data preparing parameters. With respect to each pixel of the reference-image data, pixel values of a pixel window which is composed of the pixel as a center pixel and neighbor pixels around the center pixel are checked to prepare a reference data. When all of the pixels in the pixel window are within a single pixel-value range, the center pixel is decided as a pattern uniform portion, and the reference data is prepared according to the parameters of a corresponding pattern classification. When all of the pixels in the pixel window are not within the single pixel-value range, the center pixel is decided as a pattern step portion, and internal and external pattern classifications are determined, so that the reference data is prepared according to the parameters of at least one of the internal and external pattern classifications. An inspection-image data of a pattern to be inspected is compared with the reference data to detect a defect of the pattern.
