  • Patent number: 10976671
    Abstract: A technique relates to correcting an area of overlap between two films created by sequential shadow mask evaporations. At least one process is performed of: correcting design features in an original layout to generate a corrected layout using a software tool, such that the corrected layout modifies shapes of the design features and correcting the design features in the original layout to generate the corrected layout using a lithographic tool, such that the corrected layout modifies the shapes of the design features. The modified shapes of the design features are patterned at locations on a wafer according to the corrected layout using the lithographic tool. A first film is deposited by an initial shadow mask evaporation and a second film by a subsequent shadow mask evaporation to produce corrected junctions at the locations on the wafer, such that the first film and the second film have an overlap.
