  • Patent number: 9240321
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a mask includes a line-and-space mask pattern. The mask has a separation portion separating a line pattern in a predetermined region within the line-and-space mask pattern. The mask also includes a connection pattern arranged in a crossing direction crossing the extending direction of the line pattern connecting the separated line patterns. The connection pattern is arranged on a position where the end of the line pattern, which is separated by the separation portion, projects from the connection pattern.

  • Patent number: 8980762
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a film having different filling properties dependent on space width above the patterning film to cover the first line patterns and the second line patterns to form the film on the first line patterns and on the first inter-line pattern space while making a cavity in the first inter-line pattern space and to form the film on at least a bottom portion of the second inter-line pattern space and a side wall of each of the second line patterns. The method includes performing etch-back of the film to remove the film on the first line patterns and on the first inter-line pattern space while causing the film to remain on at least the side wall of the second line patterns.

  • Patent number: 8423926
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an acceptance determining method of a blank for an EUV mask includes evaluating whether or not an integrated circuit device becomes defective, on the basis of information of a defect contained in a blank for an EUV mask and design information of a mask pattern to be formed on the blank. The integrated circuit device is to be manufactured by using the EUV mask. The EUV mask is manufactured by forming the mask pattern on the blank. And the blank is determined to be non-defective in a case that the integrated circuit device is not to be defective.
