Embodiment Construction

[0090] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0091] The present invention provides a VLSI layout method considering atomization and proximity effect to solve the VLSI layout problem considering atomization and proximity effect, thereby reducing the adverse effects caused by atomization and proximity effect, thereby improving layout efficiency . The basic idea of ​​this method is to formulate the global layout problem as a separable linear constraint minimization problem. According to the energy model of atomization and proximity effect, solving the targets one by one in an alternating manner, writing out the proximity group and solving it also greatly reduces the complexity of the optimization problem and reduces the computational cost, thus effectively reducing the The effects of fogging and proximity effects are eliminated. In each iteration of the method, two subproblems are solved w...

Abstract

The invention relates to a super-large-scale integrated circuit layout method considering atomization and proximity effects. The method comprises the following steps: (1) establishing an energy distribution model for the atomization and proximity effects in electron beam lithography (EBL) and describing changes of the energy distribution model; (2) optimizing a model and a function in the global layout, and determining a smooth target function; (3) introducing a new variable to convert an unconstrained minimization problem into a separable minimization problem CSMP with linear constraints; (4)determining an adjacent group ADMM algorithm and an iterative formula of the separable minimization problem; (5) solving two sub-problems in adjacent group iteration; and (6) performing convergence analysis on the ADMM algorithm of the adjacent group. The method is beneficial to reducing adverse effects caused by atomization and proximity effect and improving the layout efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of VLSI design, and in particular relates to a VLSI layout method considering atomization and proximity effects. Background technique [0002] Since EBL can print fine patterns, it is used for patterning at sub-22nm process nodes and above. The electron gun directly emits electrons through a set of lenses and apertures to carve patterns on the wafer. When the primary electron beam from the electron gun hits the resistor and the substrate, the electrons may scatter. The scattered electrons produce backscattered electrons, which may hit the bottom of the objective. As a result, the impact may generate a next generation of electrons, so-called rescattered electrons. These scattered, backscattered, and rescattered electrons can cause unwanted exposure, resulting in proximity and fogging effects. [0003] Proximity effects are produced by scattered and backscattered electrons. More precisely, scattered elect...
