    Abstract: A layout design system for designing a semiconductor device includes a processor, a storage module storing an intermediate design, and a correction module used by the processor to correct the intermediate design. The intermediate design includes an active region and dummy designs on the active region. Each dummy design includes a dummy structure and dummy spacers disposed at opposite sides of the dummy structure. The correction module is configured to alter widths of regions of at least some of the dummy designs. The corrected design is used to produce a semiconductor device having an active fin, a hard mask layer disposed on the active fin, a gate structure crossing the over the hard mask layer, and a spacer disposed on at least one side of the gate structure. The hard mask layer, and the active fin, are provided with widths that vary due to the dummy designs.

    Abstract: In a method, a dummy gate layer structure and a mask layer are formed on a substrate. The mask layer is patterned to form masks. Spacers are formed on sidewalls of the mask. A dummy gate mask is formed between the spacers. The dummy gate layer structure is patterned using the dummy gate mask to form dummy gate structures. The dummy gate structure is replaced with a gate structure. When the mask is formed, an initial layout of masks extending in a first direction is designed. An offset bias in a second direction is provided for a specific region of the initial layout to design a final layout having a width in the second direction varying along the first direction. The mask layer is patterned according to the final layout to form the masks having a width varying along the first direction.
