摘要: Grayscale Optical Proximity Correction device features are added to a mask pattern by convoluting the with two-dimensional correction kernel or two one-dimensional kernels generate grayscale OPC features. The resulting may be used in projection lithography apparatus having programmable patterning means that is adapted three more intensity levels. An iterative process of simulating an aerial image would produced pattern, comparing simulation desired and adjusting optimum for projection.
