Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosed technology relate to techniques for retargeting free-form layout features. In a retargeting process, anchor points are selected on boundary lines of layout features based on one or more predetermined conditions. Property values comprising spacing values and linewidth values for each of the anchor points are then determined. Based on the determined property values, positions of the anchor points are adjusted to derive new anchor points. Retargeted layout features are derived by using splines as interpolating curves passing through the new anchor points or as approximating curves passing near to but not necessarily through the new anchor points.
