Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present disclosure provides a method. The method includes obtaining an integrated circuit (IC) layout. The method includes providing a polishing process simulation model. The method includes performing a lithography pattern check (LPC) process to the IC layout. The LPC process is performed at least in part using the polishing process simulation model. The method includes detecting, in response to the LPC process, possible problem areas on the IC layout. The method includes modifying the polishing process simulation model. The method includes repeating the performing the LPC process and the detecting the possible problem areas using the modified polishing process simulation model.
