随着集成电路尺寸缩小至光刻波长以下,光学光刻面临衍射与工艺波动带来的挑战。基于模型的光学邻近校正(OPC)和逆光刻技术(ILT)虽仍不可或缺,但计算成本高,需反复仿真,限制了可扩展性。尽管深度学习已用于掩模优化,现有数据集多依赖合成版图,忽略标准单元层级结构,且未考虑掩模优化目标周围的上下文环境,难以应用于实际场景。为此,我们提出MaskOpt,一个基于45nm节点真实芯片设计的大规模基准数据集。该数据集包含104,714个金属层掩模块和121,952个通孔层掩模块。每个掩模块均按标准单元布局裁剪,保留单元信息,并利用逻辑门的重复出现特性。数据集支持不同大小的上下文窗口,以捕捉光学邻近效应引起的邻近形状影响。我们评估了当前先进的深度学习模型,建立了基准性能,并通过上下文规模分析与输入消融实验,证实了周围几何结构与单元感知输入在精确掩模生成中的重要性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
As integrated circuit (IC) dimensions shrink below the lithographic wavelength, optical lithography faces growing challenges from diffraction and process variability. Model-based optical proximity correction (OPC) and inverse lithography technique (ILT) remain indispensable but computationally expensive, requiring repeated simulations that limit scalability. Although deep learning has been applied to mask optimization, existing datasets often rely on synthetic layouts, disregard standard-cell hierarchy, and neglect the surrounding contexts around the mask optimization targets, thereby constraining their applicability to practical mask optimization. To advance deep learning for cell- and context-aware mask optimization, we present MaskOpt, a large-scale benchmark dataset constructed from real IC designs at the 45$\mathrm{nm}$ node. MaskOpt includes 104,714 metal-layer tiles and 121,952 via-layer tiles. Each tile is clipped at a standard-cell placement to preserve cell information, exploiting repeated logic gate occurrences. Different context window sizes are supported in MaskOpt to capture the influence of neighboring shapes from optical proximity effects. We evaluate state-of-the-art deep learning models for IC mask optimization to build up benchmarks, and the evaluation results expose distinct trade-offs across baseline models. Further context size analysis and input ablation studies confirm the importance of both surrounding geometries and cell-aware inputs in achieving accurate mask generation.
