Abstract

See full text

An optical proximity correction (OPC) method of effectively imitating a mask topography effect for a mask having a curvilinear pattern includes generating a library for edge filters of a near field by using an electromagnetic field simulation; generating an any-angle edge filter by using the library; for a mask having a curvilinear pattern, generating a first mask image by using thin mask approximation; determining whether the curvilinear pattern satisfies a reference; when the curvilinear pattern satisfies the reference, performing skewed Manhattanization on the curvilinear pattern and then generating a second mask image by applying the any-angle edge filter to edges of the curvilinear pattern.
