20100297538Holographic Reticle and Patterning Method - A hologram reticle and method of patterning a target. A layout pattern for an image to be transferred to a target is converted into a holographic representation of the image. A hologram reticle is manufactured that includes the holographic representation. The hologram reticle is then used to pattern the target. Three-dimensional patterns may be formed in a photoresist layer of the target in a single patterning step. These three-dimensional patterns may be filled to form three-dimensional structures or else used in a multi-surface imaging composition. The holographic representation of the image may also be transferred to a top photoresist layer of a top surface imaging (TSI) semiconductor device, either directly or using the hologram reticle. The top photoresist layer may then be used to pattern an underlying photoresist layer with the image. The lower photoresist layer is used to pattern a material layer of the device.11-25-2010

20090276750METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING SCATTERING BAR RULE - A method for establishing a scattering bar rule for a mask pattern for fabricating a device is provided. The method is described as follows. First, at least one image simulation model is established according to the mask pattern and a process reference set used for fabricating the device based on the mask pattern. Next, a plurality of scattering bar reference sets is applied to the image simulation model so as to generate a plurality of simulation images, respectively. Further, a portion of the simulation images are selected to be a plurality of candidate layouts according to a screening criterion. Next, one of the candidate layouts is determined to be a pattern layout according to a selection rule, and the scattering bar reference set corresponding to the pattern layout is determined to be a scattering bar rule of the mask pattern.11-05-2009
