Cross-shaped sub-resolution assist features may be utilized to print lithographic patterns in semiconductor fabrication processes. The crosses may be isolated structures or may be part of a grid arrangement. The main features, such as contacts, may be positioned on the mask so as to be intersected by the cross-shaped sub-resolution assist features. In some embodiments, the cross-shaped sub-resolution assist features may intersect the main feature at its center point in both the x and y directions.
