    摘要: A method of physical design for integrated circuit (IC) chip fabrication, physical design system and program product therefor. A design shape is fragmented into segments for Optical Proximity Correction (OPC) and a harmonic mean of the segments is determined. Electrical intent is determined for the shape and a harmonic mean is determined for the segments. Segments may be moved based on a effect on the harmonic mean from moving the segments, measured using a harmonic mean cost function. Finally segmented shapes are passed to OPC.

    摘要: A system and method of employing patterning process statistics to evaluate layouts for intersect area analysis includes applying Optical Proximity Correction (OPC) to the layout, simulating images formed by the mask and applying patterning process variation distributions to influence and determine corrective actions taken to improve and optimize the rules for compliance by the layout. The process variation distributions are mapped to an intersect area distribution by creating a histogram based upon a plurality of processes for an intersect area. The intersect area is analyzed using the histogram to provide ground rule waivers and optimization.

    摘要: A method for determining the root causes of fail patterns in integrated circuit chips is provide wherein a known integrated circuit chip layout is used to identify a plurality of potential defects and a plurality of potential fail patterns in the integrated circuit chip. Correlations between the potential defects and the potential fail patterns that result from those defects are identified. Based on this identification, the potential fail patterns are grouped by common potential defect. An actual integrated circuit chip that is manufactured in accordance with the test layout is tested for failure patterns. These failure patterns are then compared to the groupings of potential fail patterns. When a match is found, that is when a given group of fail patterns is found in the actual integrated circuit chip, then the potential defect associated with the potential fail patterns to which the actual fail patterns are matched is identified. This defect is the root cause of the failure pattern in the actual chip.

    摘要: Methods, systems and program products are disclosed for selectively scaling an integrated circuit (IC) design: by layer, by unit, or by ground rule, or a combination of these. The selective scaling technique can be applied in a feedback loop with the manufacturing system with process and yield feedback, during the life of a design, to increase yield in early processes in such a way that hierarchy is preserved. The invention removes the need to involve designers in improving yield where new technologies such as maskless fabrication are implemented.

    摘要: A method for converting an integrated circuit design to a phase-shift complaint mask design. The method comprises the steps of locating features of the integrated circuit that violate predetermined design criteria converting error flags to physical marker shapes, modifying the located features using layout modification system technology based on a predetermined cost constraint, determining if all violations are corrected, and either changing the cost constraint to a higher cost constraint if violations still exist and repeating the process or terminating the conversion if all violations are corrected.
