Quick Start Code

Get Started with the Photolithography Simulation Suite

            
from src.mask_generation import MaskGenerator

from src.opc import OPCProcessor

from src.fourier_optics import FourierOpticsSimulator

from src.defect_inspection import DefectInspector

from src.monte_carlo import MonteCarloSimulator

# 1. Generate mask pattern

generator = MaskGenerator(size=(512, 512), pixel_size=5)

mask = generator.create_line_space(pitch=65, duty_cycle=0.5)

mask_psm = generator.add_phase_shift_mask(mask, phase_shift=np.pi)

# 2. Apply OPC

opc = OPCProcessor(wavelength=193e-9, NA=1.35, sigma=0.85)

mask_corrected = opc.apply_model_based_opc(mask_psm, iterations=5)

epe = opc.calculate_edge_placement_error(mask, mask_corrected)

# 3. Simulate imaging

fourier = FourierOpticsSimulator(wavelength=193e-9, NA=1.35)

aerial_image = fourier.calculate_aerial_image(mask_corrected)

mtf = fourier.calculate_mtf()

# 4. Inspect for defects

inspector = DefectInspector(pixel_size=5, threshold=0.1)

defects = inspector.detect_defects(aerial_image)

classified = inspector.classify_defects(defects)

kpis = inspector.calculate_kpis(defects, aerial_image.shape)

# 5. Monte Carlo analysis

mc = MonteCarloSimulator(n_simulations=1000)

cd_variation = mc.simulate_cd_variation(45, 2, 1000)

yield_pred = mc.predict_yield(len(defects) / area)

print(f"Resolution: {0.61 * 193 / 1.35:.1f}nm")

print(f"EPE RMS: {np.sqrt(np.mean(epe**2)):.2f}nm")

print(f"Defects found: {len(defects)}")

print(f"Predicted yield: {yield_pred:.1f}%")
