In the conference program, Mentor is showcasing two technological features – EUV readiness and our new OPC approach for handling memory applications & flows. Papers relevant to those focus areas are listed below:

 

EUV Readiness

  • SRAF requirements, relevance, and impact on EUV lithography for next-generation beyond 7nm node
  • Model-based hyper-NA anamorphic EUV OPC
  • Impact of aberrations in EUV lithography: metal to via edge placement control

 

A new OPC approach for handling Memory applications & flows

  • Model-based cell-array OPC for productivity improvement in memory fabrication
  • Model-assisted template extraction application to contact hole patterns in high-end flash memory device fabrication
