    摘要: A method and system for reducing the computation time required to apply position-dependent corrections to lithography, usually mask, data is disclosed. Optical proximity or process corrections are determined for a few instances of a repeating cluster or object, usually at widely separated locations and then interpolating the corrections to the other instances of the repeating cluster based on their positions in the exposure field. Or, optical proximity corrections can be applied to the repeating cluster of objects for different values of flare intensity, or another parameter of patterning imperfection, such as by calculating the value of the flare at the location of each instance of the repeating cluster, and interpolating the optical proximity corrections to those values of flare.

    摘要: A hierarchical representation encapsulates the detailed internal composition of a sub-circuit using the notion of a cell definition (a CellDef). The CellDef serves as a natural unit for operational reuse. If the computation required for the analysis or manipulation (e.g. parasitic extraction, RET, design rule confirmation (DRC), or OPC) based on a CellDef or one cell instance can be applied, with no or minimal additional effort, to all or a significant subset of other instances of the cell, very substantial reduction in computational effort may be realized. Furthermore, a hierarchical representation also allows for the partitioning of the overall analysis/manipulation task into a collection of subtasks, e.g. one per CellDef. Multiple jobs may then be distributed across a large number of computational nodes on a network for concurrent execution. While this may not reduce the aggregate computational time, a major reduction in the overall turnaround time (TAT) is in itself extremely beneficial.
