Description of related technology In the simulation of optical proximity effect correction (opc) by lithography, the impedance must be calculated at high speed. So * there is a way to approach the calculation by contours created by sharing light intensity distributions with certain thresholds on the wafer. In the example of exposure using a hafnium fluoride excimer laser, a resistive material that is chemically amplified to achieve high-resolution characteristics is used instead of the conventional _ no obo lac -type photoresist. In the chemically amplified resistive material, the effect of the acid on the diffusion effect in the heat treatment diffusion process (post-baking) is very significant. In order to take this effect into account, there is a method that uses the contour function P derived from the light intensity distribution I and the convolutional integral of the Gaussian function g, and is based on the equivalent of the contour function P established by sharing the threshold function P with a certain threshold. The impedance is calculated based on the line, as published by Hiroshi Fukuda, Keiko Hattori, et al.

Description of Invention (r) Huan Understand. However, it is obvious that one skilled in the art would be able to practice the invention without these specific details. In other instances, structures that are well known to me are no longer shown in detail to avoid creating an unnecessarily vague impression of the invention. First, we will discuss a preferred embodiment of a method and system for performing photoresistance contour calculation according to the present invention. We can use the convolution integral defined as follows to modify the aforementioned equation (1) with the integral sign: Ι (χ) = Σαλ S t (xp) t * (xp) ^^ (χ) ^ t * (x) dp ( 3) Among them, each parameter is represented by a vector form like X = (x, y), p = (px, py). On the other hand, * stands for complex conjugate number. Substituting equation (3) into I (x) in the aforementioned equation (2), the contour function P (X) can be expressed as: P (χ) = Σα ^ ϊ J t (xp) t * (xp) ^ i ( x) ^ jl * (x) g (xq) dpdq (4) Among them, since the Gaussian function is a real variable function, it can be decomposed into a conjugate complex number of the form: g (x) = g (x) l / 2 {g (x) 1/2} * (5) Replace g (X) in the aforementioned equation (4) with equation (5), Ρ (χ) = Σα ^ ί t (xp) t * (xp) ¢) ^ (xigix-q) 1/2 {ί5 * (x) g (xq) I / 2} * dpdq (6) Next, we will discuss an integration sequence for switching the aforementioned equation (6) with reference to FIG. 1 To correct the p-boundary of the zero function. First, the magnitude of the zero-position function P can be determined as the range d 'of the optical proximity effect, so that the zero-position function φ falling in a region other than d approaches the paper standard applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) — Ordered at 111 --------------- LI, (谙 Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) Printed by the Employees ’Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 412662 Α7 Β7 5.

Next, it is assumed that the Gaussian function falling outside the range of 3σ can be approached to 0 ° by taking the diffusion length as the mouth in a static manner < please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) By broadening the boundary of the zero-position function as shown in Figure 1 to 3σ and entering zero within the widened portion, the influence of the boundary when performing the round integral can be removed. By switching the integration order of the aforementioned equation (6) with a zero function, the contour function ρ (χ) is calculated with the following equation. Ρ (χ) = Σαλ JS ΐ (χ-ρ) ΐ * (χ-ρ) Φ * (χ) Φ ^ (x) * dp = Σπ * I (ί * Φ) (χ) I 2 (7) where Is to define φ (χ) = (Lu * g1 / 2) (x) (8) as a new zero function. Next, the operation of the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be discussed. Create a chart by calculating the null functions P and α representing the characteristics of the optical system (step 1). Generate a new chart consisting of the new null function obtained by performing the cyclotron integration of the null function and Gaussian function of the optical system (step 2).

Description of the invention (7) New zero function chart generation department Part 12 will perform step 2 of Figure 2 and use the graph of the new null function φ to generate a new graph from the null function and Gaussian function g. The photoresist contour function calculation part will perform step 3 in FIG. 2 and re-perform the calculation of the photoresist contour function P across the entire area by the transmission coefficient of the mask and the new zero function. The CPU 14 is used to execute the respective parts of the operation control central processing unit -13] and executes the control of the individual parts 11 to 13 in accordance with the operation control program originally stored in the memory unit 15. I should note that a read-only storage medium can be used as the memory 1 5 »In the present invention, the range of the optical proximity effect is based on the nature of the Gaussian function, and the effect of the acid on the photoresist of chemical applications can be combined with the representative The zero-position function of the characteristics of the optical system is used to perform calculation of the photoresist profile using this zero-position function, thereby contributing to reducing the calculation time. At the same time, in the conventional method, in order to reduce the uncertainty error when performing the convolution integration, we must perform the calculation of the fine mesh of the light intensity distribution. In contrast, in the present invention, we can achieve the ability to directly calculate the contour function with an arbitrary screen. Therefore, the required storage area can be made extremely small. This will also achieve the purpose of reducing the calculation time. According to the present invention as described above, since the convolution calculation was originally performed on the null function with a Gaussian function, it becomes unnecessary to perform convolution integration after calculating the light intensity distribution, and it can be directly calculated from the null function, and therefore Reduced calculation time.
