Abstract

When simulating charging effects in electron beam lithography (EBL) using the drift-diffusion recombination (DDR) model, traditional numerical iterative solvers face issues of slow computational speed and limited scalability. To solve this problem, we employ the Smoothed aggregation algebraic multigrid (SA-AMG) solver based on bi-conjugate gradient stabilized (BICGSTAB) and preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) to accelerate the computation of the DDR and Poisson equations separately. Compared to the Gauss-Seidel solver with a time complexity of

${O}\text {(}{n}^{{2}}\text {)}$

and the PCG, BICGSTAB solvers with a time complexity of O (

${n}^{\text {3/ {2}}}\text {)}$

, the SA-AMG solver reduces the time complexity to

${O}\text {(}{n}\text {)}$

. This implies that at a charging time of

$1~\mu $

s, the computation time for simulating charging effects with SA-AMG is 93, 296, and 646 times faster than the Gauss-Seidel solver when the grid point count of

${n} = 10^{{6}}$

$10^{{7}}$

$10^{{8}}$

, respectively. Furthermore, compared to the combined PCG and BICGSTAB solvers, the SA-AMG solver is 4, 7, and 13 times faster for the same grid point counts.

使用 SA-AMG 高效计算电子束光刻技术中的充电效应

在使用漂移扩散重组（DDR）模型模拟电子束光刻（EBL）中的充电效应时，传统的数值迭代求解器面临计算速度慢和可扩展性有限的问题。为了解决这个问题，我们采用了基于双共轭梯度稳定（BICGSTAB）和预处理共轭梯度（PCG）的平滑聚集代数多网格（SA-AMG）求解器，分别加速 DDR 和泊松方程的计算。与时间复杂度为 ${O}\text {(}{n}^{2}}\text {)}$的高斯-赛德尔求解器和时间复杂度为 O( ${n}^{text {3/ {2}}}\text {)}$的 PCG、BICGSTAB 求解器相比，SA-AMG 求解器将时间复杂度降低到了 ${O}\text {(}{n}\text {)}$。这意味着在充电时间为 1~\mu $ s 时，当网格点数为 ${n} = 10^{{6}}$ 、 $10^{{7}}$ 、 $10^{{8}}$ 时，使用 SA-AMG 仿真充电效应的计算时间分别是高斯-赛德尔求解器的 93 倍、296 倍和 646 倍。此外，与 PCG 和 BICGSTAB 求解器相比，在相同网格点数下，SA-AMG 求解器的速度分别是 PCG 和 BICGSTAB 求解器的 4 倍、7 倍和 13 倍。
