@azonenberg - I was just randomly searching for https://github.com/vincentlv/DimmiLitho and it appears there might be more attempts at open source litho simulation out there than I realized. Found the following to accidentally!

OPC want. Fab allowance/support when 😄
(I think the tools may already exist even if as part of research paper code dumps only, but that part shouldn't even be that hard even if one has to write the code for the techniques/algorithms of the paper(s), but it won't/can't really progress until the fab allows test structures/validations in submissions.)

```text
As I understand it, fab currently applies OPC to the submission before the masks are produced.
That's inherently in the way of, notably, having some mask patterns that deliberately excercise finer litho interactions in ways that are reasonably easy to measure on produced chips, so that ILT models can be adjusted/tuned to the particular process litho aspects.
Like, the GDSII doesn't have the mask layers, it's just a proxy that turns into mask layers while the fab applies OPC and some indirection schemes (like self-aligned gate and similar).
