MASTER PATTERN DESIGNING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE SAME

摘要

A mask pattern designing system and a mask pattern designing method are provided to shorten the time taken to design and achieve improved efficiency of design by extracting design cases from a database and automatically designing a mask pattern. A mask pattern designing system comprises a client(10) and a server(20). The client takes, as an input, specifications of a mask pattern during design of a shadow mask. The server stores existing design cases of a mask pattern, compares specifications of the mask pattern input from the client and the existing design cases of the mask pattern, extracts a similar designing case, and designs in an optimum way a mask pattern on the basis of the extracted similar design case. The server includes a case database(21) where existing design cases are stored.
