Because described current layer spirte 110(please refer to Fig. 7) the first width L11 be 80nm, first interval S 11 is 120nm, what be arranged in the first photoetching resolution restriction table (table 1) can not exposure area, immediate with this position can the width of exposure area be 60nm, spacing is 120nm or width 70nm, spacing is 140nm, so, the minor increment C1 of mobile described second line segment B is 20nm, the the second width L12 had between the relative edge 112 of described second line segment B and the second line segment B is made to be 60nm, and the second interval S 12 between described second line segment B and current layer spirte 120 is 140nm, what described second width L12 and the second interval S 12 were arranged in described first photoetching resolution restriction table (table 1) can exposure area.
Please refer to Fig. 8, according to the length of described first line segment A, contrast photoetching resolution restriction table, mobile corresponding distance, make, between the relative edge 112 of the first line segment A in described current layer spirte and the first line segment A, there is the 3rd width, between first line segment A and adjacent current layer spirte, 120 have the 3rd spacing, and what described 3rd width and the 3rd spacing were arranged in the photoetching resolution restriction table corresponding to length of the first line segment can exposure area, and formation can expose current layer spirte 110a.Described 3rd width is less than the first width, and is greater than the second width; Described 3rd spacing is greater than the first spacing, and is less than the second spacing.
Concrete, the method of mobile described first line segment A comprises: according to the length of the first line segment A, select corresponding photoetching resolution restriction table, the length of the exposure spirte that the photoetching resolution restriction table of described correspondence adopts is closest or identical with the length of described first line segment A; What judge whether the length of described first line segment A and the first width are arranged in described corresponding photoetching resolution restriction table can exposure area; If be positioned at described can exposure area, then keep described first line segment motionless; Can not exposure area if be positioned at, then contrast the photoetching resolution restriction table of described correspondence, the first line segment A is moved minimum distance, the distance between the relative edge of the first line segment in current layer spirte and the first line segment is decreased to can in exposure area.
In the present embodiment, the length of described first line segment A is 100nm, so the photoetching resolution restriction table selecting the 4th photoetching resolution restriction table (table 4) the most corresponding, the length of the 4th exposure spirte that described 4th photoetching resolution restriction table adopts is that 100nm is identical with the length of described first line segment A, so can reflect preferably, the exposure status of the part current layer spirte at described first line segment A place.
First width L11 of the part current layer spirte at described first line segment A place is 80nm, the first interval S 11 between described first line segment A and adjacent current layer spirte 120 is 120nm, what be just in time arranged in described 4th photoetching resolution restriction table (table 4) can exposure area, so described first line segment A can be kept motionless, make described adjacent layer spirte 200 still be positioned at the described revised surface exposing current layer spirte 110a completely, the performance of the semiconductor devices adopting above-mentioned figure to be formed as exposure targeted graphical can not be had influence on.
In other embodiments of the invention, the first width L11 of described first line segment A corresponding thereto between limit 112, and first the first interval S 11 between line segment A and adjacent current layer spirte 120 may be arranged in photoetching resolution restriction table can not exposure area, described first line segment A can be moved, described first width L11 is reduced, and the part current layer spirte at described first line segment A place can be positioned at can exposure area.Because the length of the first line segment A is less, in the photoetching resolution restriction table corresponding with the length of the first line segment A can exposure area be greater than in the first photoetching resolution restriction table can exposure area, so the minor increment C1 that the distance of the first line segment A movement is less than the second line segment B movement just can enter can in exposure area.
Prior art generally adopts the moving method of the second line segment B, first line segment A and the second line segment B is moved integrally, thus first of adjacent layer spirte and described bad selvedge place can be caused to treat that larger change occurs the overlapping area between correction pattern, cause the follow-up degradation treating the semiconductor devices that correction pattern is formed as exposure target using described revised first.And in the present embodiment, staging treating is carried out to described bad selvedge, make the distance of the first line segment movement close or crossing with first-phase adjacent bed spirte less, thus avoid or reduce the change that first-phase adjacent bed spirte and described first treats the overlapping area between correction pattern as far as possible, thus reduce the impact on the performance of semiconductor device of follow-up formation.
In other embodiments of the invention, in described current layer figure, also have and wait to revise limit, described in wait the current layer spirte revising place, limit width, wait that the spacing revised between limit and adjacent current layer spirte is arranged in the first photoetching resolution restriction table can not exposure area.Described waiting revises the current layer spirte at place, limit as the second positive spirte to be repaired.
Adopt with above-described embodiment, the method of mobile second line segment, wait that revising limit moves to described, the width making revised second to treat correction pattern, described in wait to revise the spacing between limit and adjacent current layer spirte, what be arranged in photoetching resolution restriction table can exposure area.
