Abstract

The present invention is provided a method to use a pattern section without extra serif to correct the polygon feature pattern with at least one inner corner. Such that the polygon feature pattern with at least one inner corner can achieve effectively OPC (optical proximity correction) without adding any extra data point. Therefore, the present invention can instead of the conventional serif and achieves the effective OPC. In addition, the mask writing time is also improved since the original feature pattern is divided into a few rectangular-shaped mask writing units or trapeze-shaped mask writing units for regular mask writing, and the inner corner is/are not in the middle of each divided mask writing units. The mask inspection is also simplified and easier to calibration since a simple geometry other than complex serif is used.

Therefore, how to reduce the file size is an important issue. In the past, the first optical proximity effect correction (o pC, opticai pr0ximity cro r e c t i 〇η) Rina system uses an additional decorative line (e χ seven r a s e Γ f) to correct the internal angle figure. For a single inner corner, the number of data points may increase from one to five. In summary, the use of additional trimming f will increase the output file size and quickly increase the mask writing time, which is sufficient because trimming lines usually require sub-resolution points. Therefore, the size of the data points to be written increases and the writing speed becomes slower.

Description of the invention (7) 'Rectangular shaped or trapeze shaped writing units are greatly improved. At the same time, when using simple geometric figures, the inspection time and correction of the mask feature pattern are both It is simpler and easier than using a complicated trimming method. Refer to Figure 6A, which shows a polygonal feature Tochigi 6 with three data points 62A, 62B, and 62C and at least three internal angles. In the method of the present invention, a method for segmenting a characteristic pattern of a mask and using optical proximity effect correction of trimming lines is provided. ^ The mask feature pattern 60 is divided into several irregular quadrilateral or rectangular feature patterns. As shown in Figure 6B, this figure shows that after the segmentation step, the feature pattern 60 is divided into several rectangles or irregularities. Regular quadrangles are written in units 60a to 60e, and eleven data points 62D to 62N are added after 60 divisions of the polygon feature pattern.

Description of the invention (8) Comparison of correction of optical proximity effect of the 64 warp threads), and the three inner corners of the original special pattern 64a, 64b, and 64c that do not have the original characteristic pattern 64 / as shown in the sixth D figure Shows that the time for pattern inspection can be greatly reduced. Here, the included angles of the polygons proposed in the embodiment of the present invention include ^ greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees. In addition, the optimal shape feature pattern between the blocks is described as a gap width (the feature pattern is divided into the divided feature widths) D. The illuminance of the light source can be calculated by formulating between the characteristic patterns, which can quickly calculate the optimal distance, and the characteristic patterns. The method of calculating the distance between two divided areas is proposed in the preferred embodiment of the invention. Here, the interval width between the individual feature patterns ^ divided by the ancient one 々τ is calculated. After being corrected by the optical proximity effect, the L-shape is reduced by two or three feature patterns. The distance between them is defined as the gap width (the gap emission wavelength is defined in Latin A, and the gap width / η is calculated, where η is the distance between two adjacent subdivided spaces', whose value is between 2 and 8. The photomask between the two individual feature patterns after the segmentation to obtain the most suitable optical proximity effect correction is provided. In the "first preferred embodiment of the present invention, a reticular pattern is divided into several Rule Four Sides / Eve ?: Originally used the traditional method of trimming: In addition to the problem that the corner effect does not exist, the capacity of the file output generated by the ^ positive specific pattern ^: ^ reduces the number of data points, 乂Minus ^. In the seventh diagram A to the ninth beta diagram 1244678 5 'invention description (9) step down, the diagram to the first case. In general, this does not shift the lithography step of the invention and intersect the multilateral View. The seventh A figure eight A to eighth d figure nine B figure Shows that in the present invention, the system refers to quartz (the transparent pattern can be a mask) or half-color burst, which is projected in the embodiment. The good-shaped isometric features are case-shaped mask feature patterns that represent segmented polygon features. Each step in the pattern to the seventh B. The figure shows an L-shaped mask. The figure shows a T-shaped mask pattern and the ninth a cross-shaped mask. The figure is for the transparency of the mask. The material of the flat plate is followed by an opaque pattern formed on the chrome (Cr) and a phase shift mask (PSM, half tone) on the reticle. The opaque pattern is on the spin-coated photoresist layer on the wafer surface. The graphic style of the transparent pattern includes any of the steps of L-shape, τ 'and its internal angles greater than 0 and less than 180 degrees. Near the effect rectangle in the special inspection time of the photomask, as in the case of the first A picture with 10 kinds of division lines. The middle system is an uncorrected L-shaped sign pattern 10 with a data point of 12A. In order to improve the mask loading time and feature pattern inspection, an optical neighbor correction method is proposed in the present invention that does not require additional trim lines , Segmentation is not repaired The mask characteristic pattern 10 forms two characteristic patterns 70a and 70b, as shown in Figure 7A. After the segmentation, the 'additional' is an increase of two points by 2 b and 7 2 C, and no additional The mask writing unit is increased, as shown in Figure 7B. In addition, as shown in Figures 7C and 7D, two irregular quadrilateral feature patterns are formed after the irregular [shaped mask feature map segmentation step.
