    Abstract: Semiconductor structures are provided. The semiconductor structure includes a plurality of gate structures extending in a first direction formed over a substrate and a contact formed adjacent to the gate structures over the substrate. The semiconductor structure further includes a plurality of metal layers formed over the gate structures. In addition, some of the metal layers include metal lines extending in the first direction, and some of the metal layers include metal lines extending in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. Furthermore, the gate structures follow the following equation: 0.2 ⁢ ⁢ P gate ⁢ ⁢ min + 0.35 ⁢ ⁢ L gate ⁢ ⁢ min + 0.3 ⁢ ⁢ H gate ⁢ ⁢ min - 20 0.2 ⁢ ⁢ L gate ⁢ ⁢ min + 0.8 ⁢ ⁢ H gate ⁢ ⁢ min - 5 × 0.3 ⁢ ⁢ L gate ⁢ ⁢ min + 0.3 ⁢ ⁢ H gate ⁢ ⁢ min + 5 38 ≤ 0.32 Pgate min is the minimum value among gate pitches of the gate structures. Lgate min is the minimum value among gate lengths of the gate structures. Hgate min is the minimum value among gate heights of the gate structures.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for forming a multiple patterning lithograph (MPL) compliant integrated circuit layout by operating a construction validation check on unassembled IC cells to enforce design restrictions that prevent MPL conflicts after assembly. In some embodiments, the method is performed by generating a plurality of unassembled integrated circuit (IC) cells having a multiple patterning design layer. A construction validation check is performed on the unassembled IC cells to identify violating IC cells having shapes disposed in patterns comprising potential multiple patterning coloring conflicts. Design shapes within a violating IC cell are adjusted to achieve a plurality of violation free IC cells. The plurality of violation free IC cells are then assembled to form an MPL compliant IC layout. Since the MPL compliant IC layout is free of coloring conflicts, a decomposition algorithm can be operated without performing a post assembly color conflict check.

    Abstract: A method identifies, as an independent node, any node representing a circuit pattern in any odd loop of a layout of a region of a layer of an IC that is not included in any other odd loop of the layout. The layer is to have a plurality of circuit patterns to be patterned using at least three photomasks. The method identifies, as a safe independent node, any independent node not closer than a threshold distance from any other independent nodes in another odd loop of the layout. The layout is modified, if the circuit patterns in the layout include any odd loop without any safe independent node, so that that after the modifying, each odd loop has at least one safe independent node.
