Abstract

A test mask with both verification structures and calibration structures is provided to enable the formation of an image of at least one verification structure and at least one calibration structure at a plurality of different test site locations under different dose and defocus conditions to allow the calibration structures to be measured and to obtain at least one computational model for optical proximity correction purposes.
