    摘要: Provided is an integrated circuit (IC) photo mask. The IC photo mask includes a main feature of the IC, the main feature having a plurality of sides, and a plurality of assist features, the assist features being spaced from each other and spaced from the main feature, wherein each one of the assist features is adjacent to one of the sides, each one of the assist features has an elongated shape along a direction, whereby extending the shape in the direction would intersect at least another one of the assist features and the assist features are sub-resolution correction features for correcting for optical proximity effect in a photolithography process.

    摘要: Various integrated circuit (IC) design methods are disclosed herein. An exemplary method includes receiving an IC design layout having an IC feature to be formed on a wafer using a lithography process and inserting a spacing in the IC feature, thereby generating a modified IC design layout that divides the IC feature into a first main feature and a second main feature separated by the spacing. The spacing has a sub-resolution dimension, such that the IC feature does not include the spacing when formed on the wafer by the lithography process using the modified IC design layout. A mask can be fabricated based on the modified IC design layout, wherein the mask includes the first main feature and the second main feature separated by the spacing. A lithography process can be performed using the mask to form the IC feature (without the spacing) on a wafer.
