We show how combining machine learning with physical models can improve the overall accuracy of modeling the lithographic process for OPC applications by up to 40%. This level of model accuracy improvement is critical to meet the stringent requirements of the 5nm node and below. We demonstrate how the judicious design of the neural network can create a model capable of high accuracy and high contour quality, even when no contour data is available. This allows the neural network model to be introduced without disrupting the model calibration flow used in OPC.
