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 18):
The method of  claim 17 , wherein said program instructions are further configured to configure the computing device to:\n compute a third local density of the drawn geometries for the physical layer in a third window for the integrated circuit, different from the first window and the second window, the third local density being lower than the first local density and the second local density; generate third variable fill geometries in a third fill portion of a third local area associated with the third window, the third fill portion being free of the drawn geometries, the third variable fill geometries having a third fill density defined by a ratio of a third fill structure area in a fill portion of the third local area divided by an area of the fill portion of the third local area, the third fill density being higher than the first fill density and the second fill density; and include the third variable fill geometries in the layout file before storing the layout file in the computer-readable data storage medium.
