Embodiment Construction
[0130] In the following description of preferred embodiments of the present invention, a method for optimizing altPSM layout design is provided.
[0131] Figure 7 A method according to the invention is shown for locally rebalancing the phase width by selectively increasing the width of the narrower outer phase region to solve the problem of unbalanced phase width with an acceptable phase width difference, at Image 6 This unbalanced phase width in 2 is caused by features that have embedded neighbors on only one side and lead to process window degradation and image placement errors. Figure 7 A method is shown in which an algorithm according to the present invention is provided such that the 0° phase regions 22A / 22B on the outside of the transistor layout at both sides of the transistors 10A / 10B and Image 6 The 180° phase regions 24 between the two sides of transistors 10A / 10B are matched, thereby overcoming the problem when altPSM masks have significantly uneven phase width...
