Mask data generating apparatus, a computer implemented method for generating mask data and a computer program for controlling the mask data generating apparatus

摘要

A mask data generating apparatus comprising: a division module configured to extract a line segment and dividing the extracted line segment into a suitable length; a correction value calculation module configured to calculate correction value calculating points from each divided edge; a first calculated center point calculation module configured to set first calculated center points and a shape of a pattern; a first rectangular region preparation module configured to prepare first simulation regions and a plurality of first rectangular regions which overlap with each other; a second calculated center point calculation module configured to acquire second rectangular regions, and calculating second calculated center points based on the second rectangular regions; a second simulation region preparation module configured to acquire second simulation regions; a process simulation execution module configured to calculate a correction value; and a correction pattern preparation module configured to prepare the correction pattern.
