  • Publication number: 20240402587
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a mask for manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes generating a first target pattern including a step portion having an inner corner and an outer corner that are spaced apart in a vertical direction; generating a second target pattern from the first target pattern; performing optical proximity correction on the second target pattern to generate a final pattern; and fabricating the mask using the final pattern. Generating the second target pattern includes forming a recess extending inwardly and in a diagonal direction relative to the inner corner of the step portion; and forming a protrusion protruding outwardly and in the diagonal direction relative to the outer corner of the step portion.

  • Publication number: 20240371886
    Abstract: A semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device comprises a substrate including a first region, a second region, and a connecting region placed between the first region and the second region, a plurality of first multi-channel active patterns placed in the first region of the substrate, a plurality of second multi-channel active patterns placed in the second region of the substrate, a first connecting fin type pattern which is placed in the connecting region of the substrate and extends from the first region to the second region in a first direction, and a field insulating film which is placed on the substrate and covers an upper surface of the first connecting fin type pattern, wherein a width of the first connecting fin type pattern in a second direction decreases and then increases as it goes away from the first region, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.
