Double Patterning Lithography (DPL) is one of the few hopeful candidate solutions for the lithography for CMOS process beyond 45nm. DPL assigns the patterns less than a certain di...
Abstract-- Due to photo-lithography effects and manufacture process variations, the actual features fabricated on the wafer are different from the designed ones. This difference ca...
In double patterning lithography (DPL), coloring conflict and stitch minimization are the two main challenges. Post layout decomposition algorithm [1] [2]may not be enough to achi...
As integrated circuits manufacturing technology is advancing into 65nm and 45nm nodes, extensive resolution enhancement techniques (RETs) are needed to correctly manufacture a chip...

Double patterning lithography (DPL) is a likely resolution enhancement technique for IC production in 32nm and below technology nodes. However, DPL gives rise to two independent, ...
