Abstract:
A method of adjusting a critical dimension of a reticle patterns in a reticle used to fabricate semiconductor devices can include determining respective values for a critical dimension of a plurality of reticle patterns in an image of the reticle and providing an atmospheric plasma to a first reticle pattern included in the plurality of reticle patterns, the first reticle pattern having a first value for the critical dimension that is different than a target value for the critical dimension. The atmospheric plasma may not be provided to second reticle patterns included in the plurality of reticle patterns, the second reticle patterns having a second value for the critical dimension that is about equal to the target value.
