    Abstract: An optical proximity correction (OPC) device and method is provided. The OPC device includes an analysis unit, a reverse pattern addition unit, a first OPC unit, a second OPC unit and an output unit. The analysis unit is configured to analyze a defect pattern from a photomask layout. The reverse pattern addition unit is configured to provide a reverse pattern within the defect pattern. The first OPC unit is configured to perform a first OPC procedure on whole of the photomask layout. The second OPC unit is configured to perform a second OPC procedure on the defect pattern of the photomask layout to enhance an exposure tolerance window. The output unit is configured to output the photomask layout which is corrected.

    Abstract: An optical proximity correction (OPC) operation method and an OPC operation device are provided. The OPC operation method includes the following steps. A mask layout is obtained. If the mask layout contains at least one defect hotspot, at least one partial area pattern is extracted from the mask layout according to the at least defect hotspot. A machine learning model is used to analyze the local area pattern to obtain at least one OPC strategy. The OPC strategy is implemented to correct the mask layout.
