Abstract

The present invention generates model scenarios of semiconductor chip design and uses interpolation and Monte Carlo, with random number generation inputs, techniques to iteratively assess the models for a more comprehensive and accurate assessment of design space, and evaluation under projected manufacturing conditions. This evaluation information is then incorporated into design rules in order to improve yield.
