20130307069 | METHOD FOR FORMING SEMICONDUCTOR LAYOUT PATTERNS, SEMICONDUCTOR LAYOUT PATTERNS, AND SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURE - A method for forming semiconductor layout patterns providing a pair of first layout patterns being symmetrical along an axial line, each of the first layout patterns comprising a first side proximal to the axial line and a second side far from the axial line; shifting a portion of the first layout patterns toward a direction opposite to the axial line to form at least a first shifted portion in each first layout pattern, and outputting the first layout patterns and the first shifted portions on a first mask. | 11-21-2013 |
20140337809 | METHOD FOR FORMING SEMICONDUCTOR LAYOUT PATTERNS, SEMICONDUCTOR LAYOUT PATTERNS, AND SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURE - A method for forming semiconductor layout patterns providing a pair of first layout patterns being symmetrical along an axial line, each of the first layout patterns comprising a first side proximal to the axial line and a second side far from the axial line; shifting a portion of the first layout patterns toward a direction opposite to the axial line to form at least a first shifted portion in each first layout pattern, and outputting the first layout patterns and the first shifted portions on a first mask. | 11-13-2014 |
20150074620 | METHOD OF MAKING PHOTOMASK LAYOUT AND METHOD OF FORMING PHOTOMASK INCLUDING THE PHOTOMASK LAYOUT - A method of making a photomask layout is provided. A graphic data of a photomask is provided. The graphic data includes at least one rectangular pattern. A correction step is performed to the graphic data by using a computer. The correction step includes adding a substantially ring-shaped pattern inside the rectangular pattern. A method of forming a photomask by using the photomask layout obtained by the said method is also provided. In an embodiment, the photomask is suitable for defining micro-lenses of a solid-state image sensor. | 03-12-2015 |
20150089460 | METHOD OF PERFORMING OPTICAL PROXIMITY CORRECTION FOR PREPARING MASK PROJECTED ONTO WAFER BY PHOTOLITHOGRAPHY - A method of performing optical proximity correction for preparing a mask projected onto a wafer by photolithography includes the following steps. An integrated circuit layout design including a first feature and a second feature is obtained, wherein the first feature overlaps a first boundary of two structures in the wafer. An edge of the first feature close to the second feature pertaining to a specific trend section of an experimental chart having trend sections is recognized. An optical proximity correction value is evaluated for the edge through a computer system according to a rule corresponding to the specific trend section. The layout design is compensated with the optical proximity correction value. | 03-26-2015 |
