    Abstract: Methods of fabricating lithographic masks include performing mask process correction (MPC) on a mask tape out (MTO) design layout. Performing MPC may include identifying a plurality of unit cells (each being iterated in the MTO design layout and including a plurality of curve patterns), and performing model-based MPC on at least one of the plurality of unit cells. These methods may further include performing electron beam exposure based on the MTO design layout on which the MPC is performed. The performing model-based MPC on at least one of the plurality of unit cells may be based on at least one of an aspect ratio, sizes, curvatures of curved edges, density, and a duty of the plurality of curve patterns.

    Abstract: An exposure system includes a data processing part that forms an exposure layout and an exposure part that irradiates an electron beam at a photoresist layer according to the exposure layout. The data processing part generates a control parameter for driving the exposure part without a pattern position error and a beam drift error and to prevent a discrepancy between the exposure layout and a mask layout to be formed in the photoresist layer. A controlling part controls the exposure part according to the control parameter.
