    摘要: A method for forming exposure masks for imaging a target pattern having features to be imaged on a substrate in a multi-exposure process. The method includes the steps of generating a set of decomposition rules defining whether a given feature of the target pattern is assigned to a first exposure mask or a second exposure mask; applying the decomposition rules to each of the features in the target pattern so as to assign each of the features in the target pattern to one of the first exposure mask or second exposure mask; and generating the first exposure mask and the second exposure mask containing the respective features assigned to each mask.

    摘要: A method of generating a mask design having optical proximity correction features disposed therein. The methods includes the steps of obtaining a desired target pattern having features to be imaged on a substrate; determining an interference map based on the target pattern, the interference map defining areas of constructive interference and areas of destructive interference between at least one of the features to be imaged and a field area adjacent the at least one feature; and placing assist features in the mask design based on the areas of constructive interference and the areas of destructive interference.
