AbstractThe broader impact/commercial impacts of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will be in developing new solutions for semiconductor chip manufacturing for artificial intelligence (AI). Mask writers are machines that are integral to the semiconductor industry, as these create the stencils (masks) that are sandwiched together to form advanced computer chips. The number and complexity of the masks required for these chips are increasing beyond the capacity of state-of-the-
