According to the chip surface contact pressure calculation method provided by the invention, the calculation efficiency and the calculation precision can be considered simultaneously, thereby providing premise and guarantee for manufacturability design optimization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of manufacturability design of integrated circuits, in particular to a method for calculating chip surface contact pressure and a method for manufacturability design with variable scale. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the continuous expansion of integrated circuit wafer size and the continuous reduction of chip feature size, chip stability control has become increasingly difficult. Many derivative effects have not been fully considered before design, and the improvement of integrated circuit yield has been significantly affected. Therefore, the IC chip design process solution based on Design for Manufacturability (DFM) has become a frontier research hotspot in recent years. Design for Manufacturability (DFM), as a nascent nano-design methodology technology, provides a technical platform covering design and manufacturing information, so that designers can predict the impact of different design sche...
