    摘要: A resist pattern (5) is formed in a dimension of a limitation of an exposure resolution over a hard mask material film (4) over a work film (3). The material film (4) is processed using the resist pattern (5) as a mask. A hard mask pattern (6) is thereby formed. Thereby a resist pattern (7), over a non-selected region (6b), having an opening (7a) through which a selection region (6a) in the mask pattern is exposed is formed. Only the mask pattern (6a) exposed through the opening (7a) is slimmed by performing a selection etching, the work film (3) is etched by using the mask pattern (6). A work film pattern (8) is thereby formed, which include a wide pattern section (8a) of a dimension width of the limitation of the exposure resolution and a slimmed pattern section (8a) of a dimension that is not more than the limitation of the exposure resolution.

    摘要: Mask data is generated from a design layout by executing a mask data process including optical proximity correction. A pattern is formed on the major surface of a test semiconductor substrate by using a mask prepared from the mask data. The dimensional difference between the design layout and the pattern is measured. The design layout is corrected, at a portion with the dimensional difference of the design layout, by the magnitude of the dimensional difference in a direction in which the dimensions of the pattern equal those of the design layout, thereby generating a corrected design layout. Corrected mask data is generated from the corrected design layout by executing the mask data process including the optical proximity correction. A pattern is formed on the major surface of a semiconductor substrate by using a corrected mask prepared from the corrected mask data.
