There is disclosed a mask pattern data forming method comprising arranging patterns with a minimum pitch in parallel or vertically in an X or Y direction, where directions diagonally connected with respect to respective centers of gravity of the double-pole or the quadrupole illumination are defined as the X and Y direction, classifying patterns or pattern groups with a pitch larger than the patterns with the minimum pitch into a pattern type with a pitch whose exposure margin is larger than that of the patterns with the minimum pitch and a pattern type with a pitch whose exposure margin is smaller than that of the patterns with the minimum pitch; and arranging patterns or pattern groups classified into the pattern type whose exposure margin is smaller than that of the patterns with the minimum pitch in a direction deflected by 45° or 135° from the patterns with the minimum pitch.

A photomask designing apparatus designs a photomask provided with a light transmission region through which exposure light with a predetermined wavelength transmits, a semi-transmission region having an optical characteristic of 180-degree phase shift and a light shielding region shielding exposure light. The semi-transmission region has a width set so as to be larger as a distance from the semi-transmission region to the light shielding region becomes short with respect to a region in which the semi-transmission region, the light transmission region and the light shielding region are sequentially formed outward from an exposure light passing region side. The width of the semi-transmission region is set so as to be smaller as the distance becomes long.

A pattern creation method, including laying out data of a most extreme end pattern of integrated circuit patterns on a first layer and laying out data of the integrated circuit patterns excluding the most extreme end pattern on a second layer, extracting data of a first most proximate pattern being most proximate to the most extreme end pattern from the second layer and converting the extracted data to a third layer, generating data of a contacting pattern which contacts both the first most proximate pattern and the most extreme end pattern in a fourth layer, generating data of a non-overlapping pattern of the contacting pattern excluding overlapping portions with the most extreme end pattern and the first most proximate pattern in a fifth layer, extracting data of a second most proximate pattern being most proximate to the non-overlapping pattern and converting the extracted data to the first layer.

A mask pattern data generating method is disclosed, which comprises preparing mask pattern data which corresponds to a design pattern including a pair of line patterns formed of two line patterns, and disposing an auxiliary pattern which is un-transferable to a resist film at a center of a space region between the pair of line patterns, in which the disposing of the auxiliary pattern includes obtaining a shape of the auxiliary pattern which meets formulae in which a width in the short edge direction of the auxiliary pattern, a space width between the auxiliary pattern and one of the pair of line patterns, a wavelength of an exposure light emitted by a projection aligner using a photo mask at exposure, and a numerical apertures of a projection lens of the projection aligner are defined as parameters, and disposing the obtained auxiliary pattern at the center of the space region.

A method for forming a pattern having holes arrayed with spacing less than resolution of exposure tool, includes forming first resist pattern including first resist openings having width and spacing equal to or greater than the resolution, in first resist film coated on underlying film. First shrank pattern including first holes having dimension equal to or less than the resolution in the underlying film is formed by first shrink process to the first resist pattern. Second resist pattern including second resist openings arrayed between the first holes having width equal to or greater than the resolution, is formed in second resist film coated on the underlying film. Second shrank pattern including second holes having dimension equal to or less than the resolution in the underlying film is formed by second shrink process to the second resist pattern.

摘要:
A communication terminal displays thumbnails for predetermined-region images in a panoramic image and accepts a selection of a predetermined thumbnail so as to display the predetermined-region image corresponding to the accepted thumbnail. This brings about an effect that a user can easily find a desired panoramic image or a desired predetermined-region image in the panoramic image.
摘要:
A wavelength conversion unit includes a wavelength conversion member that transmits a part of incident excitation light and converts a part of the excitation light into wavelength-converted light having a wavelength different from a wavelength of the excitation light to emit the wavelength-converted light. The excitation light has an intensity distribution in which an intensity is maximum at the center and decreases as getting apart from the center. A thickness of the wavelength conversion member at a portion into which light at the center of the intensity distribution of the excitation light enters is larger than those at any other portions.
