Abstract

A computer-implemented method for modeling mandrel tolerance in a design of semiconductor device. The method includes receiving a multiple patterning (MPT) process design kit (PDK) for the semiconductor device. The PDK includes design parameters of a plurality of transistors that form at least part of the semiconductor device and a plurality of fins associated with each of the plurality of transistors. The method includes generating a fin index identifying each of the plurality of fins and grouping the fin indexes of the plurality of fins into two or more groups based on a type of fin. The method further includes identifying a mandrel mismatch in response to determining that a first fin index associated with a first transistor belongs to a group that is different from a second fin index associated with a second transistor. The method also includes determining a device parameter based on the mandrel mismatch identified.
