    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method of improving pattern density with a low OPC (optical proximity correction) cycle time, and an associated apparatus. In some embodiments, the method is performed by performing an initial data preparation process on an IC design including a graphical representation of a layout used to fabricate an integrated chip. The initial data preparation process is performed by using a data preparation element to generate a modified IC design having modified shapes that are modified forms of shapes within the IC design. One or more low-pattern-density areas of the modified IC design are identified using a local density checking element. One or more dummy shapes are added within the one or more low-pattern-density areas using a dummy shape insertion element. The one or more dummy shapes are separated from the modified shapes by a non-zero space.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method of data preparation. The method, in some embodiments, performs a first data preparation process using a data preparation element. The first data preparation process modifies a plurality of shapes of an integrated chip (IC) design that comprises a graphical representation of a layout used to fabricate an integrated chip. A plurality of additional shapes are added to the IC design using an additional shape insertion element. The plurality of additional shapes are separated from the plurality of shapes by one or more non-zero distances. A second data preparation process is performed using the data preparation element, after performing the first data preparation process. The second data preparation process modifies the plurality of additional shapes.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method of improving pattern density with a low OPC (optical proximity correction) cycle time, and an associated apparatus. In some embodiments, the method is performed by forming an integrated chip (IC) design that is a graphical representation of an integrated chip. One or more low-pattern-density areas of the IC design are identified having a pattern density that results in a processing failure. The low-pattern-density areas are a subset of the IC design. The pattern density is adjusted within the low-pattern-density area by adding one or more dummy shapes within the low-pattern-density areas. A data preparation process is then performed on the IC design to modify shapes of the one or more dummy shapes within the low-pattern-density areas. By introducing dummy shapes into a local area, rather than into an entire integrated chip design, the demands of the subsequent data preparation process are reduced.
