An optical proximity correction method includes extracting edges of a layout of a pattern on a mask, including at least one edge of the layout that is a curvilinear edge, and generating an optical image of the pattern by applying an edge filter, which includes an any-angle filter corresponding to an angle of the curvilinear edge, to the extracted edges of the layout. The any-angle filter may be generated using source sector rotation to correspond to the angle of the curvilinear edge.
