SIMULATION / SA-SEED-PROC-LITHO-WINDOW-001

Lithography focus-exposure process window
Litho Window

Replay focus, exposure, CD-error proxy, overlay proxy, and pass/fail window to explain process windows without scanner recipes.

EXPLORE

Start with the observable.

Use this page when the simulation is the primary artifact. The linked lesson explains the concept; the linked lab keeps the visual replay surface available.

guided exploration
  • Inspect where CD and overlay constraints overlap instead of optimizing one metric alone.
  • Use failed grid points to name process-window risk without recipe settings.
  • Compare this new card with the older process lithography-window replay.

RUN CARD

Conditions before conclusions.

This page replays saved lithography-window data and does not run a scanner, OPC, resist, or recipe workflow.

precomputed educational sweep

Primary knobs

  • Focus offset
  • Exposure delta
  • CD and overlay constraints
outputs

Saved outputs

  • CD-error proxy
  • Overlay proxy
  • Pass/fail window

METHODS

How the number was made.

Methods are written for citation discipline: the extraction rule matters as much as the plotted value.

method

CD error is modeled as a quadratic focus term plus exposure sensitivity.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Overlay proxy increases with absolute focus and exposure offset.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

A grid point passes only when both CD and overlay proxies remain inside the teaching thresholds.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

LIMITS

What this page does not claim.

The MVP is useful because the limits are visible. These statements prevent a teaching simulation from being cited as silicon evidence.

non-claim

No mask, resist chemistry, OPC, scanner, dose recipe, focus-exposure matrix from a fab, or calibrated wafer data.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

No facility workflow or process recipe is exposed.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

Metrology such as CD-SEM, overlay, and wafer maps is required before calibrated claims.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

EVIDENCE

Trace the claim back to artifacts.

The evidence route remains the catalog-level browser; this page is the simulation-level reading card.

evidence note

Seed sweep JSON stores every focus, exposure, CD, overlay, and pass/fail row.
