Publication number: 20230367942Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure provide coloring methods that sort and pre-color nodes of G0-linked networks in a multiple-patterning technology (MPT)-compliant layout design by coordinate. In one embodiment, a method includes identifying target networks in a circuit layout, each target network having two or more linked nodes representing circuit patterns, and each target network being presented in an imaginary X-Y coordinate plane, assigning a first feature to a first node in each target network, the first node is determined using a coordinate-based method, and assigning the first feature and a second feature to remaining nodes in each target network in an alternating manner so that any two immediately adjacent linked nodes in each target network have different features.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Inventors: Chia-Ping CHIANG, Ming-Hui CHIH, Chih-Wei HSU, Ping-Chieh WU, Ya-Ting CHANG, Tsung-Yu WANG, Wen-Li CHENG, Hui En YIN, Wen-Chun HUANG, Ru-Gun LIU, Tsai-Sheng GAU
