Systems and methods for process simulation are described. The methods may use a reference model identifying sensitivity of a reference scanner to a set of tunable parameters. Chip fabrication from a chip design may be simulated using the reference model, wherein the chip design is expressed as one or more masks. An iterative retuning and simulation process may be used to optimize critical dimension in the simulated chip and to obtain convergence of the simulated chip with an expected chip. Additionally, a designer may be provided with a set of results from which an updated chip design is created. |
