Abstract
Variation of a parameter of interest is reduced over a field of interest in, for example, an object design, such as a circuit design. The field of interest is divided into tiles. A parameter value is found for each tile and for a group of tiles around each tile. Using these values, variation of the parameter is determined. An adjusted value of the parameter for each tile is determined taking limits into account, iterating until variation is below a threshold value. Parameter uniformity is improved in some applications by over 30% with runtime reduced by an order of magnitude.
