A method of verifying a layout pattern comprises separately steps of obtaining a simulated pattern at a lower portion of a film by using a layout pattern as a mask to transfer the layout pattern to the film, and obtaining a simulated pattern at an upper portion of the film by using the layout pattern as a mask to transfer the layout pattern to the film. The layout pattern is verified according to the upper and lower simulated patterns.
