Abstract

See full text

Some embodiments provide a method of computing the estimated distance between an external state and a set of states in a multi-state space that represents a region of a design layout. The method identifies a polygon that encloses the set of states. It then identifies vectors to project from the vertices of the polygon based on a model that allows penalizes measurements in certain directions more than other directions. Based on the projected vectors, the method then identifies the estimated distance.
