A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes reducing errors in a migration of a first netlist to a second netlist, the first netlist corresponding to a first semiconductor process technology (SPT), the second first netlist corresponding to a second SPT, the first and second netlists each representing a same circuit design, the reducing errors including: inspecting a timing constraint list corresponding to the second netlist for addition candidates; generating a first version of the second netlist having a first number of comparison points relative to a logic equivalence check (LEC) context, the first number of comparison points being based on the addition candidates; performing a LEC between the first netlist and the first version of the second netlist, thereby identifying migration errors; and revising the second netlist to reduce the migration errors, thereby resulting in a second version of the second netlist.

Disclosed is a method of treating a substrate, the method including: supplying a liquid to the substrate, emitting a laser to the substrate supplied with the liquid to heat the substrate, and emitting imaging light for capturing the substrate to obtain an image of the substrate including a region to which the laser is emitted, in which the laser and the imaging light are emitted to the substrate through a head lens, and a divergence angle of the laser emitted from the head lens and a divergence angle of the imaging light are matched with each other.

A method for overlay error correction includes generating a first overlay error based on a first overlay mark, wherein the first overlay error is indicative of a misalignment between a lower pattern and an upper pattern of the first overlay mark. The method also includes generating a second overlay error based on a second overlay mark, in response to an abnormal of the first overlay error is detected. The method further includes determining whether the abnormal of the first overlay error is caused by the misalignment between the lower pattern and the upper pattern depending on the second overlay error.

A method is provided for producing different patterns on a single substrate. The method includes executing at least twice a sequence of the following steps: depositing a hardmask on the layer of interest and patterning the hardmask with a predefined pattern to create an accessible portion on the layer of interest; spinning a glass/carbon layer on the hardmask and on the accessible portion of the layer of interest; spin coating a block copolymer on the glass/carbon layer; transferring a predefined block copolymer pattern onto the layer of interest thereby obtaining a transferred pattern, removing the hard mask; filling the transferred pattern followed by chemical mechanical polishing or etching back, wherein different block copolymer patterns are used.
