摘要:
A method of splitting a lithographic pattern into two sub-patterns, includes generating test structures corresponding to structures of interest in the lithographic pattern, varying the test structures through a selected range of dimensions, simulating an image of the test structures, determining an image quality metric for the simulated image, analyzing the determined image quality metric to determine pitch ranges for which split improves the image quality metric and ranges for which split does not improve the image quality metric, and generating the two sub-patterns in accordance with the determined pitch ranges.
