    摘要: An embodiment provides systems and techniques for determining a process model. During operation, the system may receive a first optical model which models a first optical system of a photolithography process. Next, the system may use the first optical model to determine a second optical model that models a second latent image that is formed by the first optical system at a second distance. The system may also use the first optical model to determine a third optical model that models a third latent image that is formed by the first optical system at a third distance. Next, the system may receive process data which is obtained by subjecting a test layout to the photolithography process. The system may then determine a process model using the first optical model, the second optical model, the third optical model, the test layout, and the process data.

    摘要: An embodiment provides systems and techniques for determining an improved process model which models mask corner rounding (MCR) effects. During operation, the system may receive a mask layout and process data which was generated by applying a photolithography process to the mask layout. The system may also receive an uncalibrated process model which may contain a set of MCR components. Next, the system may identify a set of corners in the mask layout. The system may then determine a set of mask layers, wherein at least some of the mask layers correspond to the MCR components. Next, the system may determine an improved process model by calibrating the uncalibrated process model using the set of mask layers, and the process data.
