Abstract

See full text

A method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium for reducing chemo-epitaxy directed-self assembly (DSA) defects of a layout of a guiding pattern include inserting an internal dummy between a first portion of the guiding pattern and a second portion of the guiding pattern if a vertical spacing is equal to or greater than a first predetermined distance, inserting a first external dummy along an external edge of the guiding pattern in a vertical direction if the vertical spacing is greater than a second predetermined distance, and inserting an anti-taper structure on the first external dummy if a second distance from the external edge of the guiding pattern to an edge of the first external dummy is greater than a first distance.
