Method, Computer Program and System Providing for Semiconductor Processes Optimization

摘要

A method, computer program and system for the optimization of semiconductor process parameters given a pre-specified set of targets and constraints on electrical performance metrics are disclosed. Semiconductor process engineers who are not expert in the art of electrical analysis or mathematical optimization can readily use the method of this invention in optimizing semiconductor process parameters. Accommodates the differences in design styles, metal layer routing, and electrical metrics using priority schedules that are easy to input and understand. Enables the exploration of the process parameter space using primitive process tolerances and accurate electrical information provided by field solvers and circuit analysis programs.
