    Abstract: A method for decomposing a layout of an integrated circuit is provided. First, a layout of the integrated circuit is imported, wherein the layout comprises a plurality of sub patterns in a cell region, and a first direction and a second direction are defined thereon. Next, one sub pattern positioned at a corner of the cell region is assigned to an anchor pattern. Then, the sub patterns in the row same as the anchor pattern along the second direction is assigned to the first group. Finally, the rest of the sub patterns are decomposed into the first group and the second group according to a design rule, wherein the sub patterns in the same line are decomposed into the first group and the second group alternatively.

    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 photomask structure including a first layout pattern and a second layout pattern is provided. The second layout pattern is located on one side of the first layout pattern. The first layout pattern and the second layout pattern are separated from each other. The first layout pattern has a first edge and a second edge opposite to each other. The second layout pattern has a third edge and a fourth edge opposite to each other. The third edge of the second layout pattern is adjacent to the first edge of the first layout pattern. The second layout pattern includes a first extension portion exceeding an end of the first layout pattern. The first extension portion includes a first protruding portion protruding from the third edge of the second layout pattern. The first protruding portion exceeds the first edge of the first layout pattern.

    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.
