Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program that when executed by at least one processor performs a design aware process to manufacture an integrated circuit (“IC”) layout, the computer program comprising sets of instructions for: receiving an IC design comprising a plurality of wiring layers, each wiring layer comprising a plurality of routes; identifying dimensional attributes of the plurality of routes of a particular wiring layer by identifying (i) a first width of a first set of routes along a first direction and (ii) a second width of a second set of routes along a second direction for the particular wiring layer, wherein the first direction is different from the second direction and the first width is narrower than the second width; specifying a manufacturing configuration comprising a specified dipole lens, wherein the dipole lens comprises two poles aligned orthogonal to the first direction; and manufacturing the IC based on the manufacturing configuration.
