    摘要: A method for reducing an effect of flare produced by a lithographic apparatus for imaging a design layout onto a substrate is described. A flare map in an exposure field of the lithographic apparatus is simulated by mathematically combining a density map of the design layout at the exposure field with a point spread function (PSF), wherein system-specific effects on the flare map may be incorporated in the simulation. Location-dependent flare corrections for the design layout are calculated by using the determined flare map, thereby reducing the effect of flare. Some of the system-specific effects included in the simulation are: a flare effect due to reflection from black border of a mask, a flare effect due to reflection from one or more reticle-masking blades defining an exposure slit, a flare effect due to overscan, a flare effect due reflections from a gas-lock sub-aperture of a dynamic gas lock (DGL) mechanism, and a flare effect due to contribution from neighboring exposure fields.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of selecting a subset of patterns from a design, to a method of performing source and mask optimization, and to a computer program product for performing the method of selecting a subset of patterns from a design. According to certain aspects, the present invention enables coverage of the full design while lowering the computation cost by intelligently selecting a subset of patterns from a design in which the design or a modification of the design is configured to be imaged onto a substrate via a lithographic process. The method of selecting the subset of patterns from a design includes identifying a set of patterns from the design related to the predefined representation of the design. By selecting the subset of patterns according to the method, the selected subset of patterns constitutes a similar predefined representation of the design as the set of patterns.

    摘要: One embodiment of a method for process window optimized optical proximity correction includes applying optical proximity corrections to a design layout, simulating a lithography process using the post-OPC layout and models of the lithography process at a plurality of process conditions to produce a plurality of simulated resist images. A weighted average error in the critical dimension or other contour metric for each edge segment of each feature in the design layout is determined, wherein the weighted average error is an offset between the contour metric at each process condition and the contour metric at nominal condition averaged over the plurality of process conditions. A retarget value for the contour metric for each edge segment is determined using the weighted average error and applied to the design layout prior to applying further optical proximity corrections.
