    摘要： An integrated circuit (IC) including at least one combinational logic path. The features in the combinational logic path are self compensating for out-of-focus effects. In particular, field effect transistor (FET) gates may be iso-focally spaced such that the gate (critical dimension) may move with changing focus, but the gate length remains the same. Alternately, logic circuits in a path may self-compensate for focus effects on individual circuits.

    摘要： A method and system for layout optimization relative to lithographic process windows which facilitates lithographic constraints to be non-localized in order to impart a capability of printing a given circuit with a process window beyond the process windows which are attainable with conventional simplified design rules. Pursuant to the method and system, lithographic capability and process windows are maximized to satisfy local circuit requirements and in order to achieve a maximally efficient layout. In this connection, there is employed a method utilizing a generalized lithographic process window as a measure when layout optimization is extended to a degree beyond that achieved by the simple fixed design rules which are applied to the design rules obtained is the advantage that a lithographic process window is determined purely through the calculation of image intensities and slopes, and as a result, the method can be quite rapid in application because it is possible to take advantage of known methods for rapid calculation of image intensity, and because there is obviated the need for geometrical shape processing during optimization.

    摘要： A methodology for obtaining improved prediction of CA resistance in electronic circuits and, particularly, an improved CA resistance model adapted to capture larger than anticipated “out of spec” regime. In one embodiment, a novel bucketization scheme is implemented that is codified to provide a circuit designer with considerably better design options for handling large CA variability as seen through the design manual. The tools developed for modeling the impact of CA variable resistance phenomena provide developers with a resistance model, such as conventionally known, modified with a new CA model Basis including a novel CA intrinsic resistance model, and, a novel CA layout bucketization model.

    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.
