摘要:
A method of generating a mask for printing a pattern including a plurality of features. The method includes the steps of obtaining data representing the plurality of features; and forming at least one of the plurality of features by etching a substrate to form a mesa and depositing a chrome layer over the entire upper surface of the mesa, where said mesa has a predetermined height.
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.

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 a first interference map based on the target pattern, which defines areas of constructive interference between at least one of the features to be imaged and a field area adjacent the at least one feature; placing a first set of assist features having a first phase in the mask design based on the areas of constructive interference defined by the first interference map; determining a second interference map based on the first set of assist features, which defines areas of constructive interference between assist features of the first set of assist features and a field area adjacent at least one of the assist features of the first set of assist features; and placing a second set of assist features having a second phase in the mask design based on the areas of constructive interference defined by the second interference map, wherein the first phase does not equal the second phase.
摘要:
A method of forming a mask having optical proximity correction features, which includes the steps of obtaining a target pattern of features to be imaged, expanding the width of the features to be imaged, modifying the mask to include assist features which are placed adjacent the edges of the features to be imaged, where the assist features have a length corresponding to the expanded width of the features to be imaged, and returning the features to be imaged from the expanded width to a width corresponding to the target pattern.
