Abstract:
A layout file for an integrated circuit has drawn geometries. Variable fill geometries are added to local areas based on densities of the drawn geometries in windows associated with the local areas and on the global density of all the drawn geometries in the layout file. Each window has a separate local area associated with it. The densities of the variable fill geometries in the local areas are not all equal. Densities of the fill geometries are higher in local areas associated with windows having lower densities of the drawn geometries, and for lower values of the global density. The layout file is stored in a computer-readable medium which may be used to produce a photomask for manufacturing an integrated circuit.

Claim (Index 1):
An integrated circuit, comprising:\n functional structures of a physical layer of the integrated circuit; and a plurality of fill structures of the physical layer, each fill structure being conductively isolated from the functional structures and others of the fill structures, the fill structures including:\n first fill structures having a first size, located in a first region having a first region area and a first fill density, the first fill density defined by a ratio of a first fill area divided by the first region area, the first fill area being an area occupied by the first fill structures in the first region; and \n second fill structures having a second size, located in a second region different from the first region, the second region having a second region area and a second fill density, the second fill density defined by a ratio of a second fill area divided by the second region area, the second fill area being an area occupied by the second fill structures in the second region, \n wherein the first size is different from the second size, or the first fill density is different from the second fill density.
