Abstract

A grid-based resist simulator predicts how a wafer coated with one or more resist layers will develop when exposed with a mask pattern. Image intensity values are calculated at a grid of points on the wafer, and the image intensity points are analyzed with a resist simulator that produces a resist surface function. A threshold contour of the resist surface function defines how the mask pattern will print on a wafer.
