    Abstract: A method for decomposing a layout of an integrated circuit is provided. First, a layout of the integrated circuit is imported, wherein the layout comprises a plurality of sub patterns in a cell region, and a first direction and a second direction are defined thereon. Next, one sub pattern positioned at a corner of the cell region is assigned to an anchor pattern. Then, the sub patterns in the row same as the anchor pattern along the second direction is assigned to the first group. Finally, the rest of the sub patterns are decomposed into the first group and the second group according to a design rule, wherein the sub patterns in the same line are decomposed into the first group and the second group alternatively.

    Abstract: A method for generating a layout pattern is provided. First, a layout pattern is provided to a computer system and is classified into two sub-patterns and a blank pattern. Each of the sub-patterns has pitches in simple integer ratios and the blank pattern is between the two sub-patterns. Then, a plurality of first stripe patterns and at least two second stripe patterns are generated. The edges of the first stripe patterns are aligned with the edges of the sub-patterns and the first stripe patterns have equal spacings and widths. The spacings or widths of the second stripe patterns are different from that of the first stripe patterns.

    Abstract: A calculation method of optical proximity correction includes providing at least a feature pattern to a computer system. At least a first template and a second template are defined so that portions of the feature pattern are located in the first template and the rest of the feature pattern is located in the second template. The first template and the second template have a common boundary. Afterwards, a first calculation zone is defined to overlap an entire first template and portions of the feature pattern out of the first template. Edges of the feature pattern within the first calculation zone are then fragmented from the common boundary towards two ends of the feature pattern so as to generate at least two first beginning segments respectively at two sides of the common boundary. Finally, positions of the first beginning segments are adjusted so as to generate first adjusted segments.
