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 15):
The method of  claim 11 , further comprising third mask elements corresponding to third fill structures having a third size, located in a third region different from the first region and the second region, the third region having a third region area and a third fill density defined by a ratio of a third fill area divided by the third region area, the third fill area being an area occupied by the third fill structures in the third region, wherein the third size is different from the first size and the second size, or the third fill density is different from the first fill density and the second fill density.
