Will GPU-Acceleration Mean The End Of Empirical Mask Models?


Shrinking mask feature sizes and increasing proximity effects are driving the adoption of simulation-based mask processing. Empirical models have been most widely used to date, because they are faster to simulate. Today, GPU-acceleration is enabling fast simulation using physical models. Does the ability of GPU-acceleration to make physical models a practical solution mean the end of empirical ... » read more

Tech Talk: GPU-Accelerated Photomasks


Noriaki Nakayamada, group manager for the data control engineering group in NuFlare's Mask Lithography engineering Department, talks about what's changing on the mask side, where the trouble spots are, and how to deal with them at advanced process nodes. [youtube vid=f8PixJMadXw] » read more
