ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure is directed to a method for preparing photomask patterns for a lithography process that employs a plurality of photomasks. The method comprises receiving data describing a drawn pattern. An edge of the drawn pattern is identified that can be defined using a first photomask and a second photomask, and the first photomask is chosen for patterning the edge. Patterns are formed for the first photomask and the second photomask, wherein the first photomask pattern is formed to pattern the edge, and the second photomask pattern is formed to have a wing adjacent to the edge for protecting the edge from double patterning. A process for patterning an integrated circuit device is also disclosed.
