Abstract

Methods and systems for building a photomask from obtained pattern information relating to a photomask that exhibits defects on wafer. Spatial domain analysis is conducted on the pattern information so that corrective photomask structures can be generated and applied to a photomask layout. A photomask is built using the corrective photomask structures. The photomask is verified for effectiveness.
