Abstract
In this paper, we distinguish between sparse and dense simulation. We give a background on known sparse and dense simulation techniques. We propose a new “semi-dense” OPC technique which is between standard sparse, and fully dense OPC. We also discuss a fully dense OPC algorithm, in which full image grids are used to control the OPC corrections. Finally, we discuss dense verification to ensure good printing behavior through process window on the full image.
