ABSTRACT:
A method is provided that automatically generates compensated semiconductor devices based on existing VLSI CAD database circuit designs. The preferred method forms a plurality of edge projection shapes which are intersected with active area shapes to form gate edge shapes. The gate edge shapes and residual of the edge shapes are the sorted according to their relative position. These shapes are then selectively biased according to their relative position, and then are used to compensate the existing gate conductor shapes. Thus, this method provides a way to generate gate structures with compensated gate lengths for n-channel and p-channel devices based on existing gate, diffusion and implant designs. This system has the advantage of generating designs with detailed attention to the placement and minimization of jogs that negatively impact the lithography performance.
