Provided is a photolithography apparatus including a photomask. The photomask includes a pattern having a plurality, of features, in an example, dummy line features. The pattern includes a first region being in the form of a localized on-grid array and a second region where at least one of the features has an increased width. The apparatus may include a second photomask which may define an active region. The feature with an increased width may be adjacent, and outside, the defined active region.

Provided is a method including layout design of an integrated circuit. A first pattern is provided. The first pattern includes an array of dummy line features and a plurality of spacer elements abutting the dummy line features. A second pattern is provided. The second pattern defines an active region of an integrated circuit device. An edge spacer element of the active region is determined. A dummy line feature of the array of dummy line features is biased (e.g., increased in width), the dummy line feature is adjacent an edge spacer element.

A method for forming a plurality of fins on a semiconductor substrate includes depositing a spacer layer to fill in gaps between the plurality of fins, the fins comprising a first material and the spacer layer comprising a second material. A first area is defined where the fins need to be broadened and a second area is defined where the fins do not need to be broadened. The method also includes patterning the spacer layer to remove spacers in the first area where the fins need to be broadened and applying an epitaxy process at a predetermined rate to grow a layer of the first material on fins in the first area. The spacer layer is removed in the second area where the fins do not need broadening.
