  • Computation of electrical properties of an IC layout
    Patent number: 7712068
    Abstract: A system for calculating electrical properties of features to be created in an integrated circuit. All or a portion of a desired layout design is corrected for photolithographic or other process distortions using one or more resolution enhancement techniques. A simulated layout image of a corrected layout is used as an input to a field solver program that calculates the electrical properties of the features as they will be printed on a wafer.
    Type: Grant
