Abstract: A method of forming a layout pattern is disclosed. First, an array comprising a plurality of main features is provided wherein the main features are arranged into a plurality of rows along a first direction and are parallel and staggered along a second direction. Assistant features are inserted into each row of the main features. A shortest distance d1 between the main features in row n to the main features in row n+1 and a shortest distance d2 between the main feature in row n−1 to the main feature in row n+1 are obtained. The assistance features inserted in row n of the main features are then adjusted according to the difference between the distances d1 and d2. After that, the main features and the assistant features are output to a photo mask.

Abstract: A method of decomposing layout design for preparing a photomask set printed onto a wafer by photolithography includes the following steps. An integrated circuit layout design including several features is obtained. The overlay relation of these features is recognized to classify these features into a first group and a second group. These features printed onto different layers of the wafer are distinguished to decompose the first group into a first feature and a third feature, and the second group into a second feature and a fourth feature. The first feature is outputted to a first photomask, the second feature is outputted to a second photomask, a third feature is outputted to a third photomask and a fourth feature is outputted to a fourth photomask. A method of forming a photomask set and a method of fabricating an integrated circuit are also provided.
