One embodiment provides a system for using a database to quickly identify a manufacturing problem area in a layout. During operation, the system receives a first check-figure which identifies a first area in a first layout, wherein the first area is associated with a first feature. Next, the system determines a first sample using the first check-figure, wherein the first sample represents the first layout's geometry within a first ambit of the first check-figure, wherein the first sample's geometry is expected to affect the shape of the first feature. The system then performs a model-based simulation using the first sample to obtain a first simulation-result which indicates whether the first feature is expected to have manufacturing problems. Next, the system stores the first simulation-result in a database which is used to quickly determine whether a second feature is expected to have manufacturing problems.

One embodiment provides a system that can enable a designer to determine the effects of subsequent processes at design time. During operation, the system may receive a test layout and an optical model that models an optical system, but which does not model the effects of subsequent processes, such as optical proximity correction (OPC). The system may generate a first dataset using the test layout and the optical model. Next, the system may apply OPC to the test layout, and generate a second dataset using the corrected test layout and the optical model. The system may then use the first dataset and the second dataset to adjust the optical model to obtain a second optical model that models the effects of subsequent processes.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that reduces computational complexity in simulating an image resulting from an original mask and an optical transmission system. During operation, the system obtains a set transmission cross coefficient (TCC) kernel functions based on the optical transmission system, and obtains a set of transmission functions for a representative pattern which contains features representative of the original mask. The system constructs a new set of kernel functions based on the TCC kernel functions and the transmission functions for the representative pattern, wherein responses to the new kernel functions in a resulting image corresponding to the representative pattern are substantially uncorrelated with one another. The system further produces an intensity distribution of a resulting image corresponding to the original mask based on the new kernel functions, thereby facilitating prediction of a layout that can be produced from the original mask.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that determines whether a sub-resolution assist feature will print. During operation, the system receives a layout which contains a sub-resolution assist feature. Next, the system determines whether the sub-resolution assist feature will print using a process model and the layout. The process model is determined using first process data and second process data. The first process data is obtained using a first layout which is exposed using a first exposure level. The second process data is obtained using a second layout which is exposed using a second exposure level, which is different from the first exposure level. The second exposure level causes the sub-resolution assist features within the second layout to print.
