Abstract

See full text

A method includes generating a plurality of multiple patterning decompositions associated with a layout of an integrated circuit. Each of the plurality of multiple patterning decompositions includes a first pattern associated with a first mask, a second pattern associated with a second mask, the first mask and the second mask being two masks of a multiple patterning mask set, a width value associated with at least one of the first pattern or the second pattern, and a first spacing value between the first pattern and the second pattern. A file is generated comprising a plurality of dielectric constant values associated with the plurality of multiple patterning decompositions that are based on the width values and the first spacing values.
