Pixel-based OPC using Quadratic Programming for Mask Optimization

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Due to continuous shrinking of Critical Dimensions (CD) in semiconductor manufacturing, advance of process technology in optical lithography is required. As a main stream among resolution enhance techniques to improve resolution, Optical Proximity Correction (OPC), which raises shape fidelity of formed patterns on wafers by mask correction to designed patterns, is essential to achieve scale down of CD in the optical lithography. In general, methods of mask correction by OPC are divided into two classes: rule-based OPC and model-based OPC. Recently, model-based OPC is broadly studied. Moreover, pixel-base OPC, which is one of model-base OPCs, decides opening or shielding part for each pixel in the mask and forms entire mask shape by mathematical models. This pixel-base OPC is known that it outputs very complicated mask geometry. In this paper, we propose process variation-aware pixel-based OPC which maximizes contrast of intensity around edges of target patterns by using Quadratic Programming.
