摘要:
A method of verifying electron beam data used to produce a photomask comprises dividing design data for the photomask into a plurality of repetitive regions, sequentially converting the sequential regions into electron beam data, and determining whether electron beam data corresponding to a current repetitive region is substantially identical to electron beam data corresponding to a previous repetitive region.

A method of correcting flare includes measuring flare of a test pattern, calculating point spread functions (PSFs) of the flare as a function of distance, and correcting the flare using corresponding PSFs for an influence range of the flare. The influence range is divided into a first range less than a predetermined distance and a second range equal to or greater than the predetermined distance, and corresponding PSFs are separately applied to the first and second ranges to correct the flare.

A method of forming a mask structure for an extreme ultraviolet ray lithography (EUVL) process includes defining a substrate including a first area and a second area, such that the first area has a pattern structure configured to selectively transmit light for the EUVL process and the second area encloses the first area, forming a reflection layer on the substrate, the reflection layer including alternately stacked molybdenum layers and silicon layers on the substrate, forming a capping layer on the reflection layer, forming an absorption pattern on the capping layer, the absorption pattern including a central portion corresponding to the first area of the substrate and a peripheral portion corresponding to the second area of the substrate, and forming a blind layer on the peripheral portion of the absorption pattern.
