Abstract

A method for generating a mask pattern is provided. A target lithographic pattern comprising a plurality of first geometric regions is provided, wherein the regions between the plurality of first geometric regions comprise first spaces. The target lithographic pattern is transformed, and the transformed pattern is decomposed into a first pattern and a second pattern.
