A method is provided for creating a phase mask for lithographic exposure operations. In this case, phase-shifting regions (10) with a different phase are defined on both sides of critical structures (6), which fall below an extent limit. At least one phase shifter correction is carried out such that at least two mutually facing phase-shifting regions (10) are joined together to form a contiguous phase-shifting region (10) if their distance from one another falls below a predetermined minimum distance.
