This book introduces readers to the most advanced research results on
Design for Manufacturability (DFM) with multiple patterning lithography
(MPL) and electron beam lithography (EBL). The authors describe in
detail a set of algorithms/methodologies to resolve issues in modern
design for manufacturability problems with advanced lithography. Unlike
books that discuss DFM from the product level or physical manufacturing
level, this book describes DFM solutions from a circuit design level,
such that most of the critical problems can be formulated and solved
through combinatorial algorithms.
