Abstract:
Pattern centric process control is disclosed. A layout of a semiconductor chip is decomposed into a plurality of intended circuit layout patterns. For the plurality of intended circuit layout patterns, a corresponding plurality of sets of fabrication risk assessments corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of sources is determined. Determining a set of fabrication risk assessments for an intended circuit layout pattern comprises determining fabrication risk assessments based at least in part on: simulation of the intended circuit layout pattern, statistical analysis of the intended circuit layout pattern, and evaluation of empirical data associated with a printed circuit layout pattern. A scoring formula is applied based at least in part on the sets of fabrication risk assessments to obtain a plurality of overall fabrication risk assessments for respective ones of the plurality of intended circuit layout patterns. The plurality of intended circuit layout patterns is ranked based on their fabrication risk assessments, the corresponding overall fabrication risk assessments, or both. At least a portion of ranking information is outputted to facilitate influence or control over the semiconductor fabrication process.

Claim (Index 18):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to rank each source according to at least one of a corresponding reliability and coverage.
