An Automated System for Checking Lithography Friendliness of Standard Cells

I-Lun Tseng, Yongfu Li, Valerio Perez +3

At advanced process nodes, lithography weakpoints can exist in physical layouts of integrated circuit designs even if the layouts pass design rule checking (DRC). Existence of lith…
