    摘要: A method of forming an integrated circuit structure includes forming a first and a second plurality of tracks parallel to a first direction and on a wafer representation. The first and the second plurality of tracks are allocated in an alternating pattern. A first plurality of patterns is laid out on the first plurality of tracks and not on the second plurality of tracks. A second plurality of patterns is laid out on the second plurality of tracks and not on the first plurality of tracks. The first plurality of patterns is extended in the first direction and in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, so that each of the second plurality of patterns is surrounded by portions of the first plurality of patterns, and substantially none of neighboring ones of the first plurality of patterns on the wafer representation have spacings greater than a pre-determined spacing.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for achieving multiple patterning compliant technology design layouts is provided. An exemplary method includes providing a routing grid having routing tracks; designating each of the routing tracks one of at least two colors; applying a pattern layout having a plurality of features to the routing grid, wherein each of the plurality of features corresponds with at least one routing track; and applying a feature splitting constraint to determine whether the pattern layout is a multiple patterning compliant layout. If the pattern layout is not a multiple patterning compliant layout, the pattern layout may be modified until a multiple patterning compliant layout is achieved. If the pattern layout is a multiple patterning compliant layout, the method includes coloring each of the plurality of features based on the color of each feature's corresponding at least one routing track, thereby forming a colored pattern layout, and generating at least two masks with the features of the colored pattern layout. Each mask includes features of a single color.
