摘要： A method for performing a parallel static timing analysis in which multiple processes independently update a timing graph without requiring communication through a central coordinator module. Local processing queues are used to reduce locking overhead without causing excessive load imbalance. A parallel analysis is conducted on a circuit design represented by a timing graph formed by a plurality of interconnected nodes, the method including: using a computer for creating a shared work queue of ready to process independent nodes; assigning the independent nodes from the work queue to at least two parallel computation processes, simultaneously performing node analysis computations thereof; and modifying the circuit design by updating values of the processed independent nodes obtained from the node analysis, the at least two parallel computation processes independently updating the shared work queue to process a new plurality of independent nodes.

摘要： A method of gridded glyph geometric objects (L3GO) integrated circuit (IC) design, wherein at least one inter-level connect in a L3GO circuit design is represented as a point matrix glyph (PMG) on a L3GO grid. Each PMG connects a pair of conductors on the next adjacent (above and below) layer and includes an array (one or two dimensional) of point glyphs contained within a cage. The point glyphs may have uniform size and may be on minimum pitch. Each PMG may also include a flange on the above and below layer. A default flange insures adequate coverage of cut shapes represented by the point glyphs.

摘要： Methods, and program storage devices, for performing model-based optical proximity correction by providing a region of interest (ROI) having an interaction distance and locating at least one polygon within the ROI. A cut line of sample points representative of a set of vertices, or plurality of cut lines, are generated within the ROI across at least one lateral edge of the polygon(s). An angular position, and first and second portions of the cut line residing on opposing sides of an intersection between the cut line and the lateral edge of the polygon are determined, followed by generating a new ROI by extending the original ROI beyond its interaction distance based on such angular position, and first and second portions of the cut line. In this manner, a variety of new ROIs may be generated, in a variety of different directions, to ultimately correct for optical proximity.

摘要： A method of designing an alternating phase shifting mask for projecting an image of an integrated circuit design. Phase units are binary colorable within each unit of the hierarchical circuit design, e.g., cell, an array, a net, or array of nets and/or cells, the phase shapes. The assignment of phases or colors within a hierarchical unit will be correctly binary colored to satisfy the lithographic, manufacturability and other design rules, referred to collectively as coloring rules. During assembly with other units, the coloring of phases in a hierarchical unit may change (e.g., be reversed or flipped), but the correct binary colorability of a hierarchical unit is preserved, which simplifies assembly of the integrated circuit layout.

摘要： Disclosed is a method of locating systematic defects in integrated circuits. The invention first performs a preliminary extracting and index processing of the circuit design and then performs feature searching. When performing the preliminary extracting and index processing the invention establishes a window grid for the circuit design and merges basis patterns with shapes in the circuit design within each window of the window grid. The invention transforms shapes in a each window into feature vectors by finding intersections between the basis patterns and the shapes in the windows. Then, the invention clusters the feature vectors to produce an index of feature vectors. After performing the extracting and index processing, the invention performs the process of feature searching by first identifying a defect region window of the circuit layout and similarly merging basis patterns with shapes in the defect region window. This merging process can include rotating and mirroring the shapes in the defect region. The invention similarly transforms shapes in the defect region window into defect vectors by finding intersections between basis patterns and the shapes in the defect region. Then, the invention can easily find feature vectors that are similar to the defect vector using, for example, representative feature vectors from the index of feature vectors. Then, the similarities and differences between the defect vectors and the feature vectors can be analyzed.

摘要： A method is described for performing model-based optical proximity corrections on a mask layout used in an optical lithography process having a plurality of mask shapes. Model-based optical proximity correction is performed by computing the image intensity on selected evaluation points on the mask layout. The image intensity to be computed includes optical flare and stray light effects due to the interactions between the shapes on the mask layout. The computation of the image intensity involves sub-dividing the mask layout into a plurality of regions, each region at an increasing distance from the evaluation point. The contributions of the optical flare and stray light effects due to mask shapes in each of the regions are then determined. Finally, all the contributions thus obtained are combined to obtain the final computation of the image intensity at the selected point.

摘要： A method for calculating long-range image contributions from mask polygons. An algorithm is introduced having application to Optical Proximity Correction in optical lithography. A finite integral for each sector of a polygon replaces an infinite integral. Integrating over two triangles, rather than integrating on the full sector, achieves a finite integral. An analytical approach is presented for a power law kernel to reduce the numerical integration of a sector to an analytical expression evaluation. The mask polygon is divided into regions to calculate interaction effects, such as intermediate-range and long-range effects, by truncating the mask instead of truncating the kernel function.
