Abstract: A method for forming a photo-mask is provided. A first photo-mask pattern relating to a first line, an original second photo-mask pattern relating to a first via plug, and a third photo-mask pattern relating to a second line are provided. A first optical proximity correction (OPC) process is performed. A second OPC process is performed, comprising enlarging a width of the second photo-mask pattern along the first direction to form a revised second photo-resist pattern. A contour simulation process is performed to make sure the revised second photo-mask pattern is larger or equal to the original second-mask pattern. The first photo-mask pattern, the revised second photo-mask pattern, and the third photo-mask pattern are output. The present invention further provides an OPC method.

Abstract: A method for generating a layout pattern is provided. First, a layout pattern is provided to a computer system and is classified into two sub-patterns and a blank pattern. Each of the sub-patterns has pitches in simple integer ratios and the blank pattern is between the two sub-patterns. Then, a plurality of first stripe patterns and at least two second stripe patterns are generated. The edges of the first stripe patterns are aligned with the edges of the sub-patterns and the first stripe patterns have equal spacings and widths. The spacings or widths of the second stripe patterns are different from that of the first stripe patterns.

Abstract: A method for generating masks for manufacturing of a semiconductor structure comprises the following steps. A design pattern for features to be formed on a substrate is divided into a first set of patterns and a second set of patterns. The first set of patterns comprises a first pattern corresponding to a first feature, the second set of patterns comprises two second patterns corresponding to two second features, and the first feature will be arranged between the two second features when the features are formed on a substrate. Two assist feature patterns are added into the first set of patterns. The two assist feature patterns are arranged in locations corresponding to the two second features, respectively. A first mask is generated based on the first set of patterns with the assist feature patterns. A second mask is generated based on the second set of patterns.

Abstract: Semiconductor devices and method of manufacturing such semiconductor devices are provided for improved FinFET memory cells to avoid electric short often happened between metal contacts of a bit cell, where the meal contacts are positioned next to a dummy gate of a neighboring dummy edge cell. In one embodiment, during the patterning of a gate layer on a substrate surface, an improved gate slot pattern is used to extend the lengths of one or more gate slots adjacent bit lines so as to pattern and sectionalize a dummy gate line disposed next to metal contacts of an active memory cell. In another embodiment, during the patterning of gate lines, the distances between one or more dummy gates lines disposed adjacent an active memory cell are adjusted such that their locations within dummy edge cells are shifted in position to be away from metal contacts of the active memory cell.
