Abstract:
A method for designing a fine pattern is provided to transfer a fine pattern as it is to a material by forming a sub pattern for substantially transferring a fine pattern for exposure. The original data of a fine pattern for exposure is read out. The fine pattern is divided into first and second patterns wherein the first pattern needn't to be corrected and the second pattern needs to be corrected. A sub pattern is formed to maintain a first distance with the second pattern so that the fine pattern is corrected. A program including the first pattern, the second pattern and the sub pattern is performed to predict a fine pattern to be transferred to a material. The predicted fine pattern is compared with the original data, and the corrected fine pattern is determined to be a final fine pattern if any difference exists between the predicted fine pattern and the original data. The sub pattern can be a first sub pattern that is independently disposed and maintains the first distance with the second pattern having a width of W1.
Abstract:
Dummy patterns are generated for a region of an integrated circuit that is divided into buckets by obtaining a local pattern density for a respective bucket and adjusting a density of the dummy pattern for the respective bucket as a continuously variable function of the respective local pattern density and a target density for the region. By providing a continuously variable dummy pattern density, the desired density of the dummy pattern group may be adjusted precisely, to thereby reduce or eliminate loading effects. The density of the dummy pattern for the respective bucket may be calculated according to a formula in which the density of the dummy pattern is continuously variable. The dummy patterns may include features of fixed pitch and a size of the features of fixed pitch is increased or decreased as a continuously variable function of the respective local pattern density and the target density for the region.
Abstract:
A mask set is provided to have a controlled area of a transparent region. A system and a method for determining a mask layout are provided to control the area of the transparent region of the mask layout to have the same or larger area than minimum transparent region without changing sequences of a probe to be synthesized, thereby improving the pattern reliability of the mask set. A mask set comprises a plurality of masks for in situ synthesizing a probe of a microarray, wherein each of the mask includes a transparent region and a shielding region and the area of the transparent region regarding the total area of the transparent region and the shielding region is more than 5%. A system for determining a mask layout comprises: a pattern determining portion which provides the transparent region and the shielding region to a plurality of mask layouts for in situ synthesizing the probe of the microarray; a selection portion which selects one of the mask layouts; a comparison portion which compares the transparent region area of the selected mask layout with a minimum transparent area; and a pattern changing portion which exchanges the selected shielding region of the selected mask layout with the pattern changing portion of the transparent region of the non-selected mask layout when the transparent region of the selected mask layout is smaller than the minimum transparent region. A method for preparing the microarray comprises the steps of: (a) providing a substrate including a plurality of arrayed probe cells and the surface being protected by a photodegradable protecting group; and (b) in situ synthesizing the probe of the microarray using the mask set, wherein each the transparent region and the shielding region corresponds to the probe cell of the microarray. Further, an area of the probe cells is 100mum or more.
Abstract:
A mask for forming a fine pattern is provided to normally transfer first and second patterns on a mask to a transfer target material during a dual patterning process by forming a sub pattern capable of maintaining a first distance between the first and second patterns. First patterns are repeated in a first direction. Second patterns(202) with a first width are arranged in parallel with the first pattern, positioned between the first patterns. A sub pattern is disposed between the first and second patterns, maintaining a first distance with the second pattern. The sub pattern can be a first sub pattern(208) that is independently disposed and maintains the first distance with the second pattern.

Abstract:
A mask set for in-situ synthesis of probes of a microarray is provided to permit accurate exposure to the edge of probe cells by adding the optical proximity correction pattern, wherein a transparent portion of each mask reflects the effects of adjacent transparent portion, so that reliability of the probe in-situ synthesis is improved. A plurality of masks for in situ synthesis of probes on a substrate containing a plurality of arrayed probe cells contain a transparent portion and a non-transparent portion in each mask, wherein the probe cell corresponds to any one of the transparent portion and non-transparent portion of each mask; and the transparent portion pattern is a pattern having corrected optical proximity effects. A method for fabricating the mask set for microarray comprises the steps of: providing a plurality of mask layouts containing a transparent portion and a non-transparent portion, wherein the probe cell corresponds to any one of the transparent portion and non-transparent portion of each mask; performing optical proximity effects correction for the transparent portion pattern of each mask layout; and fabricating a plurality of masks by using each mask layout performing the optical proximity effects correction.
