Abstract

Methods incorporate variable side wall angle (VSA) into calculated patterns, using a mask 3D (M3D) effect. Embodiments include inputting a mask exposure information and determining the M3D effect. Determining the M3D effect may include determining the VSA. Embodiments may include calculating a VSA; and calculating a pattern on a substrate using the calculated VSA, wherein calculating the pattern on the substrate includes a mask 3D effect.
