    摘要: This disclosure includes a SRAF layout that minimizes the number of SRAFs required to reliably print contact shapes. A method is provided that reduces the number of necessary SRAF features on a mask, placing at least two elongated SRAF shapes on the mask such that the elongated SRAF shapes extend past at least one edge of a mask shape in at least one direction.

    摘要: A method for forming a mask layout is described. A plurality of phase shapes are formed on either side of a critical feature of a design layout of an intergrated circuit chip having a plurality of critical features. A plurality of transition edges are identified from the edges of each phase shape. Each transition edge is parallel to critical feature. A transition space is identified as defined by one of the group including two transition edges and one transition edge. A transition polygon is formed by closing each transition space with at least one closing edge. Each transition polygon is transformed into a printing assist feature. A mask layout is formed from the printing assist features and critical features.

    摘要: Aspects of the invention include a computer-implemented method of designing a photomask. In one embodiment, the method comprises: simulating a first photomask patterning process using a first photomask design to create simulated contours; comparing the simulated contours to a desired design; identifying regions not common to the simulated contours and the desired design; creating desired target shapes for a second photomask patterning process subsequent to the first photomask patterning process based upon the identified regions; and providing the desired target shapes for forming of a second photomask design based upon the desired target shapes.
