    Abstract: A method of correcting assist features includes the following steps. At first, a first layout pattern is received by a computer system, and the first layout pattern is split into a plurality of first regions. Subsequently, a plurality of assist features are added into the first layout pattern to form a second layout pattern, wherein at least one of the assist features neighboring any one of the edges of the first regions is defined as a selected pattern. Then, the second layout pattern is split into a plurality of second regions. Afterwards, a check step is performed on the second region including the selected pattern, and the second layout pattern is corrected to form a corrected second layout pattern.

    Abstract: A layout pattern decomposition method includes following steps. A layout pattern is received. The layout pattern includes a plurality of features, and an edge-to-edge space is respectively defined in between two adjacent features. A sum of a width of the edge-to-edge space and a width of the feature on a left side of the edge-to-edge space and a sum of the width of the edge-to-edge space and a width of the feature on a right side of the edge-to-edge space are respectively calculated. The sums and a predetermined value are respectively compared. When any one of the sums is smaller than the predetermined value, the two features on the two sides of the edge-to-edge space are colored by a first color and alternatively a second color. The features including the first color are assigned to a first pattern and the features including the second color to a second pattern.

    Abstract: A method for generating a layout pattern includes following steps. A basic layout pattern including a plurality of first stripe patterns in a first cluster region is provided. Each first stripe pattern extends in a first direction, and the first stripe patterns have equal pitches in a second direction. A plurality of anchor bar patterns are generated. Each anchor bar pattern extends in the first direction, and the anchor bar patterns have equal pitches in the second direction. Edges of at least one of the anchor bar patterns in the second direction are aligned with edges of two adjacent first stripe patterns respectively. At least one of the anchor bar patterns overlaps a first space between two adjacent first stripe patterns. At least one first mandrel pattern is generated at the first space overlapped by the anchor bar pattern, and the first mandrel pattern is outputted to a photomask.

    Abstract: A method of forming a photomask comprises providing a predetermined fin array having a plurality of fin patterns to a computer readable medium in a computer system. First of all, a plurality of width markers is defined by using the computer system, with each of the width marker parallel to each other and comprising two fin patterns, wherein each of the width markers is spaced from each other by a space. Then, a number of the width markers is checked to be an even. Following this, a plurality of pre-mandrel patterns is defined corresponding to odd numbered ones of the spaces. Then, a plurality of mandrel patterns is defined by sizing up the pre-mandrel patterns. Finally, the mandrel patterns are outputted to form a photomask.
