Abstract
An electron beam exposure system used for LSI mask making or direct writing for ASICs is considered. In CAD data/electron beam exposure-data conversion, a new algorithm for treating overlapping cells hierarchically is proposed. Geometric transformations, such as resizing, for overlapping cells are performed without referring to other cells by introducing a data marking structure. The conversion time of a 16M DRAM and 70 K-gate LSI circuits becomes as short as 23 and 62 CPU minutes, respectively, using a 12-MIPS computer.<>
