    Abstract: Sub-resolution assist features for non-collinear features are described for use in photolithography. A photolithography mask with elongated features is synthesized. An end-to-end gap between two features if found for which the ends of the two features facing the gap are linearly offset from one another. A sub-resolution assist feature is applied to the end-to-end gap between the elongated features, and the synthesized photolithography mask is modified to include the sub-resolution assist feature.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to the reduction of critical dimensions and the reduction of feature sizes in manufacturing integrated circuits. Specifically, the method controls photoresist flow rates to develop critical dimensions beyond the resolution limits of the photoresist material used, and the limits of lithographic tool sets. The resist material characteristics are modified by exposing the resist pattern to either electrons, photons, or ions. The exposure modifies the glass transition temperature, cross linking characteristics, decomposition temperature, or molecular weight of the resist material. The post-exposure resist is then easier to control during a subsequent reflow process to reduce the hole size or line size of the patterned resist.

    Abstract: The embodiments of the present invention include decomposing a pattern into dependent patterns. The dependent patterns may then be transferred to a semiconductor wafer surface and the pattern's features may be shrunk. The shrunk features may be transferred to the substrate. The multiple exposures and shrinks facilitate smaller feature dimensions.
