Preface

Shrinking the feature size of very large-scale integrated circuits (VLSI) with advanced lithography has been a holy grail for the semiconductor industry. However, the gap between manufacturing capability and the expectation of design performance becomes critically challenged in sub-28 nm technology nodes. To bridge this gap, design for manufacturability (DFM) is a must to co-optimize both design and lithography process at the same time. In this book, we have aimed to present the most state-of-the-art research results on DFM with multiple patterning lithography (MPL) and electron beam lithography (EBL). Note that we have made no attempt to include everything, or even everything which is important in DFM. For example, design challenges toward extreme ultraviolet (EUV), directed self-assembly (DSA), and nanoimprint lithography (NIL) are not covered in this book. We hope this book will function as a concise introduction and demonstration on the design and technology cooptimization. DFM for advanced lithography could be defined very differently under different circumstances. In general, progress in advanced lithography happens along three different directions: • New patterning te
