Abstract:
A computer readable medium comprising multiple instructions stored in a computer readable device, upon executing these instructions, a computer performing the following steps: providing a first semiconductor layout and a second semiconductor layout predetermined to be fabricated on different material layers of a semiconductor device, the second semiconductor layout comprising a circuit pattern; setting a forbidden area of the circuit pattern on the first semiconductor layout according to a restriction condition; defining at least a virtual pattern arrangement area on a portion of the first semiconductor layout which does not correspond to the forbidden area; and selecting a positioning point at a boundary of the virtual pattern arrangement area and providing a virtual pattern array in the virtual pattern arrangement by taking the positioning point as an origin of a coordinate system of the virtual pattern array.
