Claim Text:
1. A method for determining one or more exposure areas and associated lithography process parameters for the one or more exposure areas in a reticle field, the method comprising: receiving, using one or more computing devices, a semiconductor design and sending, using one or more computing devices, the semiconductor design to a design analysis program; receiving, using one or more computing devices, data from the design analysis program; and determining, using one or more computing devices, one or more exposure areas in the reticle field, and at least one lithography process parameter for each of the one or more exposure areas in the reticle field based, at least in part, on the data received from the design analysis program, the semiconductor design, and one or more clustering algorithms associated with the design analysis program.
