20100038795 | METHOD OF FABRICATING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A method of fabricating a semiconductor device according to an embodiment includes forming a first pattern having linear parts of a constant line width and a second pattern on a foundation layer, the second pattern including parts close to the linear parts of the first pattern and parts away from the linear parts of the first pattern and constituting closed loop shapes independently of the first pattern or in a state of being connected to the first pattern and carrying out a closed loop cut at the parts of the second pattern away from the linear parts of the first pattern. | 02-18-2010 |
20100241261 | PATTERN GENERATING METHOD, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - Pattern formation simulations are performed based on design layout data subjected to OPC processing with a plurality of process parameters set in process conditions. A worst condition of the process conditions is calculated based on risk points extracted from simulation results. The design layout data or the OPC processing is changed such that when a pattern is formed under the worst condition based on the changed design layout data or the changed OPC processing a number of the risk points or a risk degree of the risk points of the pattern is smaller than the simulation result. | 09-23-2010 |
20110065030 | MASK PATTERN DETERMINING METHOD, MASK MANUFACTURING METHOD, AND DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD - According to one embodiment, a mask pattern determining method includes a mask-pattern dimension variation amount of a first photomask is derived. Moreover, a correspondence relationship between a target dimension value of an on-substrate test pattern formed by using a second photomask and a dimension allowable variation amount of a mask pattern formed on the second photomask is derived. Then, it is determined whether pattern formation is possible with a pattern dimension that needs to be formed when performing the pattern formation on a substrate by using the first photomask based on the mask-pattern dimension variation amount and the correspondence relationship. | 03-17-2011 |
20110069531 | NONVOLATILE SEMICONDUCTOR STORAGE DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - According to one embodiment, a method of manufacturing a nonvolatile semiconductor storage device includes a memory-cell forming step, a first wire forming step, and a second wire forming step. The memory-cell forming step is forming dummy memory cells arranged at a predetermined space apart from an end memory cell located at an end of a group of memory cells set in contact with the same first or second wire among the memory cells, the dummy memory cells having a laminated structure same as that of the memory cells and being set in contact with no second wire. | 03-24-2011 |
20110154273 | METHOD OF GENERATING MASK PATTERN, MASK PATTERN GENERATING PROGRAM, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - According to one embodiment, in process simulation, it is verified whether sidewall patterns formed on sidewalls of a core material pattern or a transfer pattern formed by transferring the core material pattern form a closed loop. When it is determined as a result of the verification that the sidewall patterns form a closed loop, the mask pattern is changed. When it is determined as a result of the verification that the sidewall patterns do not form a closed loop, the mask pattern is adopted. | 06-23-2011 |
20110307845 | PATTERN DIMENSION CALCULATION METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - A pattern dimension calculation method according to one embodiment calculates a taper shape of a mask member used as a mask when a circuit pattern is processed in an upper layer of the circuit pattern formed on a substrate. The method calculates an opening angle facing the mask member from a shape prediction position on the circuit pattern on the basis of the taper shape. The method calculates a dimension of the circuit pattern according to the opening angle formed at the shape prediction position. | 12-15-2011 |
