As the design rule shrinks down, various techniques such as RET, DFM have been continuously developed and applied to lithography field. And we have struggled not only to obtain sufficient process window with those techniques but also to feedback hot spots to OPC process for yield improvement in mass production. OPC verification procedure which iterates its processes from OPC to wafer verification until the CD targets are met and hot spots are cleared is becoming more important to ensure robust and accurate patterning and tight hot spot management. Generally, wafer verification results which demonstrate how well OPC corrections are made need to be fed back to OPC engineer in effective and accurate way. First of all, however, it is not possible to cover all transistors in full-chip with some OPC monitoring points which have been used for wafer verification. Secondly, the hot spots which are extracted by OPC simulator are not always reliable enough to represent defective information for full-chip. Finally, it takes much TAT and labor to do this with CD SEM measurement. These difficulties on wafer verification would be improved by design based analysis. The optimal OPC monitoring points are created by classifying all transistors in full chip layout and Hotspot set is selected by pattern matching process using the NanoScope^TM, which is known as a fast design based analysis tool, with a very small amount of hotspots extracted by OPC simulator in full chip layout. Then, each set is used for wafer verification using design based inspection tool, NGR2150^TM. In this paper, new verification methodology based on design based analysis will be introduced as an alternative method for effective control of OPC accuracy and hot spot management.
