Zusammenfassung:Methods are disclosed for defining evaluation points for use in optical proximity correction of a rectangular target geometry. A method for defining evaluation points for use in optical proximity correction of a rectangular target geometry may comprise predicting a contour of an image to be produced in an optical proximity correction simulation of a target geometry. The target geometry may comprise a plurality of line segments, each line segment of the plurality having one evaluation point defined thereon. The method may further comprise shifting at least one evaluation point to an associated point on the predicted contour of the image.
