Is Pattern Generation the same as Adding Fill shapes to meet Density
requirements?

The original technique used to create the reticule image involved a
device with an adjustable rectangular aperture that could be rotated in
fixed increments. Once it was adjusted and positioned, a shutter would
open and close to allow light to expose the photographic plate of the
reticule. Enough rectangles and you have an image of the layer. This was
then developed and a put into a step and repeat machine to create the
actual mask used in the fab.
The PG software would break the shapes into rectangles of the available
sizes and rotations, then sequence them for minimum time. The X and Y
rate of motion, as well as the time to adjust the aperture was taken
into account. One of the problems was preventing too much overlap of
rectangles along the edges of the polygon, which could cause the image
too bloom from excess exposure.
These days we use raster scan techniques to directly write to the
reticule. No blooming, no oddities along edges at non-standard angles,
and much faster for very complex layers.
