<p>Methods of reducing proximity effects in lithographic processes wherein an integrated circuitry pattern is transferred from a mask onto a semiconductor substrate are described. In one embodiment, a desired spacing is defined between a main feature which is to reside on a mask and which is to be transferred onto the substrate, and an adjacent proximity effects-correcting feature. After the spacing definition, the dimensions of the main feature are adjusted relative to the proximity effects-correcting feature to achieve a desired transferred main feature dimension. In another embodiment, a desired spacing is defined between a main feature having an edge and an adjacent sub-resolution feature. The edge of the main feature is moved relative to the sub-resolution feature to achieve a desired transferred main feature dimension.</p> |
