Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor integrated circuits, in particular to a method for calibrating the focal plane of OPC (Optical Proximity Correction, optical proximity effect correction) and PWOPC (Process Window Optical Proximity Correction, non-nominal condition optical proximity effect correction) models. Background technique
[0002] In the advanced semiconductor manufacturing process, the increasingly narrow process window has become a big challenge for the photolithography process. Correcting the design layout with a standard OPC model based on linewidth measurement data collected under standard exposure energy and focal plane conditions can only guarantee the accuracy of the standard conditions, but when the conditions change, the model cannot be made. accurate forecast. At this time, if the design layout of the product is very sensitive to process conditions, even if the established model is very accurate, it is difficult to...
