Abstract
Systems and methods for performing local Critical Dimension Uniformity (CDU) modeling in a virtual fabrication environment are discussed. More particularly, local CD variance is replicated in the virtual fabrication environment in order to produce a CDU mask that can be used during a virtual fabrication sequence to produce more accurate results reflecting the CD variance of features that occurs in a pattern for a semiconductor device being physically fabricated.
