Abstract
The modeling of a DSA step within a virtual fabrication process sequence for a semiconductor device structure is discussed. A 3D model is created by the virtual fabrication that represents and depicts the possible variation that can result from applying the DSA step as part of the larger fabrication sequence for the semiconductor device structure of interest. Embodiments capture the relevant behavior caused by polymer segregation into separate domains thereby allowing the modeling of the DSA step to take place with a speed appropriate for a virtual fabrication flow.
