Abstract

See full text

A mask fabricating method includes dividing an outline of a design layout into segments, setting comparison areas with respect to an evaluation point corresponding to each of the segments, for each segment, calculating an overlapping area between the design layout and each of the comparison areas, classifying the segments into groups based on the calculated overlapping areas, wherein segments having a characteristic of the same overlapping area are included in a first group, calculating bias values for each of the segments, obtaining a representative bias value for each group, for each group, assigning the representative bias value obtained for that group to each of its segments, updating the design layout based on the segments with their assigned representative bias values, and fabricating a mask based on the updated design layout.
