    Abstract: A mask level layout has an arrangement of lines and spaces with the spaces interconnected by a further space. The spaces are alternately acted upon with a phase deviation with respect to the spaces, where a phase edge between spaces acted upon differently arises in the region of the further space. Alternatively, the connecting space within the layout may be filled with dark regions. An additional space is inserted in a second layout representing a further mask of the same mask set. The additional space enables formation of an insulating region on a semiconductor substrate at the location where formation of a continuous isolation trench is not possible due to the phase edges or dark regions within originally connecting spaces of the first mask. The first mask can be embodied as a hybrid mask with structures according to the principle of alternating phase masks with a large process window.

    Abstract: A layout is decomposed into partial patterns. An intermediate mask is drawn for each of the partial patterns. The intermediate masks are used in a mask stepper or scanner progressively for projection again into a common pattern on a test mask. A line width distribution LB(x,y) is determined from the test mask or from a test wafer exposed using the mask, and is converted into a distribution of dose corrections. The transmission T(x,y) of the respective intermediate masks is adapted based upon the calculated dose correction. This can be achieved using additional optical elements which are assigned to the intermediate masks and have shading structure elements, or by laser-induced rear-side introduction of shading elements in the quartz substrate of the intermediate masks themselves.

    Abstract: An improvement of the imaging quality with simultaneous transfer of line-space gratings and peripheral structures including a MUX space is achieved using a quadrupole illumination whose poles are formed in elongate fashion and whose longitudinal axes are arranged perpendicular to the orientation of the lines of the line-space grating arranged on a mask. The structure imaging of the line-space grating is improved with regard to contrast, MEEF, and process window, while the geometrical fidelity of the peripheral structure, in particular of the MUX space, is stabilized over a wide depth of field range.
