Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 15:
16. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions therein, the instructions, upon execution by a computer system, configured to cause the computer system to at least:
determine, with a front end of a process model, a function associated with process physics and/or chemistry of an operation within a patterning process flow; and
determine, with a back end of the process model, a predicted substrate geometry, wherein the back end of the process model comprises a volumetric representation of a target area on a substrate, and wherein the predicted substrate geometry is determined by the back end by application of the function associated with the process physics and/or chemistry from the front end to manipulate the volumetric representation of the target area on the substrate.
