Abstract: Methods for iteratively optimizing a two-dimensioned tiled area such as a lithographic mask include determining a halo area around each tile in the tiled area. An extended tile is made of a tile and a halo area. Each extended tile in the tiled area is iterated until a criterion is satisfied or a maximum number of iterations is met. Optimizing the extended tile produces a pattern for the tile such that at a perimeter of the tile, the pattern matches adjacent patterns that are calculated at perimeters of adjacent tiles.
