    Abstract: Described herein is a method for determining a patterning device pattern. The method includes obtaining (i) an initial patterning device pattern having at least one feature, and (ii) a desired feature size of the at least one feature, obtaining, based on a patterning process model, the initial patterning device pattern and a target pattern for a substrate, a difference value between a predicted pattern of the substrate image by the initial patterning device and the target pattern for the substrate, determining a penalty value related the manufacturability of the at least one feature, wherein the penalty value varies as a function of the size of the at least one feature, and determining the patterning device pattern based on the initial patterning device pattern and the desired feature size such that a sum of the difference value and the penalty value is reduced.

    Abstract: Described herein is a method for a lithographic process for imaging a portion of a design layout onto a substrate using a lithographic imaging apparatus, the lithographic process having a plurality of design variables, the method comprising: calculating a gradient of each of a plurality of evaluation points or patterns of the lithographic process, with respect to at least one of the design variables; and selecting a subset of evaluation points from the plurality of evaluation points or patterns based on the gradient.
