Book excerpt: A Unified Summary of the Models and Optimization Methods Used in Computational Lithography Optical lithography is one of the most challenging areas of current integrated circuit manufacturing technology. The semiconductor industry is relying more on resolution enhancement techniques (RETs), since their implementation does not require significant changes in fabrication infrastructure. Computational Lithography is the first book to address the computational optimization of RETs in optical lithography, providing an in-depth discussion of optimal optical proximity correction (OPC), phase shifting mask (PSM), and off-axis illumination (OAI) RET tools that use model-based mathematical optimization approaches. The book starts with an introduction to optical lithography systems, electric magnetic field principles, and the fundamentals of optimization from a mathematical point of view. It goes on to describe in detail different types of optimization algorithms to implement RETs. Most of the algorithms developed are based on the application of the OPC, PSM, and OAI approaches and their combinations. Algorithms for coherent illumination as well as partially coherent illumination systems are described, and numerous simulations are offered to illustrate the effectiveness of the algorithms. In addition, mathematical derivations of all optimization frameworks are presented. The accompanying MATLAB® software files for all the RET methods described in the book make it easy for readers to run and investigate the codes in order to understand and apply the optimization algorithms, as well as to design a set of optimal lithography masks. The codes may also be used by readers for their research and development activities in their academic or industrial organizations. An accompanying MATLAB® software guide is also included. An accompanying MATLAB® software guide is included, and readers can download the software to use with the guide at ftp://ftp.wiley.com/public/sci_tech_med/computational_lithography. Tailored for both entry-level and experienced readers, Computational Lithography is meant for faculty, graduate students, and researchers, as well as scientists and engineers in industrial organizations whose research or career field is semiconductor IC fabrication, optical lithography, and RETs. Computational lithography draws from the rich theory of inverse problems, optics, optimization, and computational imaging; as such, the book is also directed to researchers and practitioners in these fields.

The theory part provides a detailed, incremental exposition of the physics of optical beam propagation, and a description of the relevant numerical techniques. The practice-track gives an opportunity to put the theory into use by guiding the reader through increasingly sophisticated examples, which cover program design and simulation execution as well as a critical assessment of the results. Written for a readership with modest experience in numerical simulations and programming, this textbook integrates both tracks into a story owing to easy-to-digest increments, covering topics from the basics to the state of the art in the field.

Download or read book Optical Computational Geometry written by Yevgeny Karasik and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-08-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geometric problems can be solved in two ways, by calculating the solution or by its construction. The classical means of geometric constructions, the straight edge/ruler and the compass, are very limited in their capabilities. Most geometric problems cannot be solved by constructing the solution with their help. That is why until recently they were solved numerically with the help of algorithms of Computational Geometry. However advances in optical technology allowed solving them by the step-by-step formation of an optical image of the solution. Such image formation is nothing else but its step-by-step construction by optical means. Just not a ruler and a compass are used to draw the solution on a sheet of paper, but optical devices are used to step-by-step transform the images of the given figures (represented as optical transparencies) into an image of the solution to a problem. This book is an introduction to the theory of such geometric constructions with the help of optical devices. It presents step-by-step procedures for transforming the light wave images of the given figures into images of solutions to various geometric problems. Such procedures are dubbed optical algorithms in the book. The book is thereby the first presentation of the theory of optical algorithms.
