摘要: A method, program product and system is disclosed for performing optical proximity correction (OPC) wherein mask shapes are fragmented based on the effective image processing influence of neighboring shapes on the shape to be fragmented. Neighboring shapes are smoothed prior to determining their influence on the fragmentation of the shape of interest, where the amount of smoothing of a neighboring shape increases as the influence of the neighboring shape on the image process of the shape of interest decreases. A preferred embodiment includes the use of multiple regions of interactions (ROIs) around the shape of interest, and assigning a smoothing parameter to a given ROI that increases as the influence of shapes in that ROI decreases with respect to the shape to be fragmented. The invention provides for accurate OPC that is also efficient.

摘要: The present invention relates generally to a method for lithographically printing a mask pattern on a substrate, in particular a semiconductor substrate, wherein the mask pattern includes features with diverse pitches. These features may include device features such as vias or contact holes and lines in integrated circuits. The method comprises splitting the mask pattern into a plurality of masks, wherein one or more of the masks contains relatively tightly nested features and one or more of the masks contains relatively isolated features. Each of the plurality of masks is then successively exposed on a photoresist layer on the substrate. For each exposure, the exposure conditions, photoresist layer, other thin films layers, etching process, mask writing process, and/or mask pattern bias may be optimized for the tightly nested feature pattern or isolated feature pattern.

摘要: Aspects of the invention include a computer-implemented method of designing a photomask. In one embodiment, the method comprises: simulating a first photomask patterning process using a first photomask design to create simulated contours; comparing the simulated contours to a desired design; identifying regions not common to the simulated contours and the desired design; creating desired target shapes for a second photomask patterning process subsequent to the first photomask patterning process based upon the identified regions; and providing the desired target shapes for forming of a second photomask design based upon the desired target shapes.

摘要: A method is provided for designing a mask layout for an integrated circuit that ensures proper functional interaction among circuit features by including functional inter-layer and intra-layer constraints on the wafer. The functional constraints used according to the present invention are applied among the simulated wafer images to ensure proper functional interaction, while relaxing or eliminating the EPE constraints on the location of the wafer images.

摘要: A method is provided for modeling lithographic processes in the design of photomasks for the manufacture of semiconductor integrated circuits, and more particularly for simulating intermediate range flare effects. For a region of influence (ROI) from first ROI1 of about 5λ/NA to distance ROI2 when the point spread function has a slope that is slowly varying according to a predetermined criterion, then mask shapes at least within the distance range from ROI1 to ROI2 are smoothed prior to computing the SOCS convolutions. The method provides a fast method for simulating intermediate range flare effects with sufficient accuracy.
