Abstract
Computer-implemented techniques for pixel source optics calculations using spatial coherence are disclosed. Pixelated sources are used for source-mask co-optimization to enhance semiconductor lithography. Calculation of a partially coherent imaging system is used for optical-lithography simulation. The spatial coherence property of neighboring source points is used to reduce imaging calculation complexity. Two or more neighboring points are treated as one pseudo-spatially coherent area element.
