摘要:
In a method of decomposing a layout of a semiconductor device, a polygon, which includes a plurality of intersections at each of which at least two lines are crossed, among polygons included in the layout of the semiconductor device may be determined as a complex polygon. A first stitch may be inserted between the plurality of intersections on the complex polygon. A plurality of decomposed patterns may be generated by performing a pattern dividing operation on the layout.
摘要:
According to example embodiments of inventive concepts, a layout design system includes a processor, a storage unit configured to store a layout design, and a stitch module. The layout design includes a first pattern group and a second pattern group disposed in accordance with a design. The first pattern group including a first pattern for patterning at a first time. The second pattern group including a second pattern for patterning at a second time that is different than the first time. The stitch module is configured to detect an iso-pattern of the second pattern using the processor. The stitch module is configured to repetitively designate at least one of the first pattern, which is spaced apart from the iso-pattern by a pitch or more, to the second pattern group using the processor.
