ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a system, software, and method for the treatment of mask data that produces defects in resultant images produced in the fabrication of a mask, following identification of the defects. The invention involves identifying each exposure shot with certain information which when combined with similar information related to the defects is used to control the exposure tool to toggle or modulate the shots related to the defects and thus, eliminate the defects.
