Pattern matching (PM) was first introduced as the semiconductor industry began to shift from simple one-dimensional rule checks to the two-dimensional checks required by sub-resolution lithography.

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Michael White, Director of Product Marketing, Calibre Physical Verification products, Mentor Graphics In recent years, ...

Pattern matching is best known for its use in detecting lithographic hotspots, but it’s also widely used across all physical verification flows, and has expanded into design-for-manufacturing (DFM) ...

To help designers find complex features with a design implementation, physical verification and DFM tools may employ pattern matching techniques. That is, a designer can simply copy a particular ...

The self-assembly of block copolymer thin films can generate dense nanoscale patterns over large areas 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. When directed by a sparse topographic or chemical template, the block copolymers ...
