隨著先進製程快速發展下，佈局圖案(Layout pattern)更容易受到製程變異(Process variation)的影響，其中有些佈局圖案雖然能通過設計法則驗證(Design rule checking)，但其可印刷性顯得相當不好，我們統稱其為微影熱點(Lithography hotspots)。為了提高可製造性及良率，這些熱點需要盡可能在設計流程前期就被偵測出來，大部分的熱點偵測(Hotspot detection)研究中，熱點圖案分類常被忽略，但熱點偵測的效率往往與熱點圖案分類息息相關，在熱點圖案分類中，相似的圖案需要被歸類為同一群，同一群內能允許些微誤差，而每一群會被選出一個熱點代表做為應用，如當作熱點偵測的圖案代表，為了使熱點偵測更有效率，群集數量(熱點代表)需要被最小化。在此篇文獻中，我們提出了佈局片段移動法以降低熱點圖案分類的群集數量，並制訂兩階段的圖案比對演算法，對一個集合覆蓋問題(Set cover problem)找出最佳解，實驗結果顯示，我們的演算法能夠降低2016 CAD Contest at ICCAD提供的範例群集數量30%。

With the rapid advance of semiconductor process technologies, layout features in integrated circuits (ICs) become highly prone to process variations. Lithography hotspots are a set of problematic layout patterns with poor printability even if they pass design rule checking (DRC). These hotspots need to be detected and fixed as early as possible in the design flow to improve manufacturability and yield. While most of existing studies focus on hotspot detection, hotspot pattern classification is rarely addressed but plays an important role in determining the efficiency of hotspot detection. In hotspot pattern classification, similar hotspots are classified into a cluster with tolerance constraints, and a representative hotspot is chosen for each cluster for future application. To minimize the problem size of subsequent hotspot detection, the number of clusters, and thus the number of representative hotspots, should be minimized. In this paper, a clip shifting method is adopted to further reduce the cluster number during hotspot classification. We propose a two-stage pattern matching algorithm flow and derive optimal solutions by solving a set cover problem. Experiment results show that our flow can reduce the cluster number by about 30% compared to reference results in 2016 CAD Contest at ICCAD.
