==ENABLING DEVICE SECURITY BY DESIGN ENUMERATION SELECTIVE TARGETING - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17545327 titled 'ENABLING DEVICE SECURITY BY DESIGN ENUMERATION SELECTIVE TARGETING

==Simplified Explanation==

The computer-implemented method described in the patent application ensures the integrity of an integrated circuit (IC) by providing a design layer that meets design rule checks (DRCs). It involves identifying a first critical dimension (CD) distribution of the design layer and using retargeting shapes to enable a biasing of CDs of targets. This enables the provision of two different CD distributions that are DRC clean and separate from each other, and cannot be expressed by a single Gaussian distribution.

* The method ensures the integrity of an integrated circuit (IC).
* It involves providing a design layer that meets design rule checks (DRCs).
* A first critical dimension (CD) distribution of the design layer is identified.
* Retargeting shapes are used to bias the CDs of targets.
* This enables the provision of two different CD distributions.
* The two CD distributions are DRC clean and separate from each other.
* The two CD distributions cannot be expressed by a single Gaussian distribution.

==Potential Applications==
This technology has potential applications in the field of integrated circuit design and manufacturing. It can be used in various industries that rely on ICs, such as:

* Electronics manufacturing
* Semiconductor industry
* Telecommunications
* Consumer electronics
* Automotive industry

==Problems Solved==
The computer-implemented method solves several problems related to the integrity of integrated circuits:

* Ensures that the design layer meets design rule checks (DRCs)
* Enables the provision of two different CD distributions
* Maintains the integrity of the integrated circuit
* Prevents errors and malfunctions in ICs
* Improves the overall quality and reliability of ICs

==Benefits==
The use of this technology offers several benefits:

* Enhanced integrity and reliability of integrated circuits
* Improved manufacturing process for ICs
* Reduction in errors and malfunctions
* Increased efficiency in IC design and manufacturing
* Enables the creation of complex IC designs with multiple CD distributions.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A computer-implemented method of ensuring integrity of an integrated circuit (IC) is provided. The computer-implemented method includes providing a design layer that meets design rule checks (DRCs), identifying a first critical dimension (CD) distribution of the design layer and using retargeting shapes in the design layer to enable a biasing of CDs of targets to enable a provision of two different CD distributions, which are DRC clean and which are separate from one another and which cannot be expressed by a single Gaussian distribution.
