Editor's note: This article provides an intriguing analysis of traditional DFM techniques and describes methods of extending them into post-tapeout optimization in the form of OPC or RET design for printability. Layouts are altered so that lithographic patterning control improves. A highlight of the article is its subsequent analysis of the implementation feasibility of actual product designs.
