Compensating masks, multi-optical systems using the masks, and methods of compensating for 3-D mask effect using the same

摘要

Provided are a compensating mask, a multi-optical system using the compensating mask, and a method of compensating for a 3-dimensional (3-D) mask effect using the compensating mask. Methods of compensating for a 3-D mask effect using a compensating mask may include generating a first kernel corresponding to a normal mask used for forming a minute pattern, generating a second kernel corresponding to a compensating mask, mixing the first kernel corresponding to the normal mask with the second kernel corresponding to the compensating mask, and generating a multi-optical system kernel corresponding to mixing the first kernel and the second kernel.
