Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Since electron beam mask writers for LSI mask fabrication can only expose a rectangle shaped-beam, a layout pattern has to be decomposed into a set of rectangles, and then they are fabricated by the mask writing machine. Because of the increase of transistors in one chip, the number of rectangles in a layout is increased, so manufacturing cost is also increased. So, a method which decomposes a layout into rectangles and L-Shaped polygons was proposed on the assumption that mask writers can expose a L-Shaped beam. However, this method cannnot always obtain a set of polygons of the minimum number. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm which can decompose a layout into minimum number of rectangles and L-Shaped polygons using dynamic programming.
