Abstract:
Methods for retargeting a via and for fabricating a semiconductor device with a retargeted via are provided. In one embodiment, a method for retargeting a via includes drawing a lower metal layer shape, drawing a via shape for overlying the lower metal layer shape, and drawing an upper metal layer shape for overlying the via shape to create an interconnection area between the via shape and the upper metal layer shape. The method includes determining a potential area loss of the interconnection area during integrated circuit fabrication processing. The method further includes enlarging the via shape to compensate for the potential area loss.
