Calibre nmOPC delivers accuracy and performance with dramatic reduction in cost of ownership for RET flow

Mentor Graphics Corporation has announced the Calibre nmOPC, a third-generation optical proximity correction (OPC) tool that expands the Calibre arsenal of resolution enhancement technology (RET) products for sub-65 nanometre process technologies The Calibre nmOPC tool and the companion OPC verification tool, Calibre OPCverify (announced earlier this year), usher in a new era of computational lithography by delivering superior simulation accuracy with the highest performance and lowest cost of ownership in the industry

Low k1 photolithography processes are increasing the complexity of RET applications in nanometre designs.

At 45nm, more complex models and through process window correction and verification requirements significantly increase computational burden.

Both the lithographic challenges and the computational complexity associated with the 45nm proc
