Original Abstract Submitted
Apparatuses, computer implemented methods and non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions to implement simulating topological features of layout designs are disclosed. An example method includes: receiving information about the layout design including topological parameters in a verification area; defining a width and a length in first and second direction directions of one or more windows; defining first and second step sizes independently from the width and the length in the first and second directions for the one or more windows, the first step size being a distance between adjacent central points of the one or more windows in the first direction and the second step size being a distance between adjacent central points of the one or more windows in the second direction; extracting information about the layout design in the one or more windows at each of a plurality of window locations; and storing the information in a database.
