Abstract

A complementary division method able to suppress a pattern deformation by wet washing, having the steps of determining a definite division length able to suppress the pattern deformation when wet washing to a width and distance of a pattern that is assumed the pattern deformation over an elasticity limit is easiest given by wet washing in advance, dividing the entire line-and-space patterns at the determined division length in the longitudinal direction to divide suitably the line-and-space pattern by a simple algorithm, and further providing a method of producing a mask and program.
